Janna Howell graduated in 1981 with a degree in Theater Arts from Humboldt State University. She lives in the Wallingford neighborhood of Seattle.
Decoupage feeds Janna's lust for rich color, classical symmetry, intricate designs and sometimes more than a little glitz. After burning out on sewing as a hobby, she turned to decoupage after stumbling upon a box her grandmother had done in the 1970s. 
 

My name is Jodie Henry and my Etsy shop is http://jhenrydesigns.etsy.com. I create soldered jewelry (and other sorts) and am having a blast. I am a graphic designer by trade and have been for almost 15 years. After being laid off in Jan 09 (4th time in 10 years) I've decided to go the freelance route...and also start doing what I LOVE! So I make jewelry with birds, butterflies...and um...scooters.

I first picked up polymer clay as a hobby back in 2000. I was bored and decided to go to the craft store to figure out what could be interesting to make. I found polymer clay and have been hooked ever since!
I used to focus more on clay figurines, but now I mainly do charms and magnets.  I also work a lot with origami papers and decoupage.  And I've recently started incorporating my photography into my crafting by making photo pendants, notecards and wood art blocks!  I also like sewing with felt and do make some small keychains and baby books.

 I like to think of myself as an artist, but find it impossible to do that full-time. I started making crafts as gifts for Christmas one year and then decided it was a great way to use my creative energy while I was between paintings. I try to use as many recycled materials as possible since I hate putting things in the trash. I never follow directions, so all of my items are designed by me without a pattern - this inevitably frustrates the ladies at the craft shows asking me how I made something.
