Yes you can buy her ART, but you'll have to check out her web page.

Here's an excerpt from her bio: "Heidi continues on, determined to make the best art she can with her limitations. She began working in polymer and other materials, and has recently found that dryer lint can make a very interesting medium as well! Her work has won her awards, and the dolls have been featured in Contemporary Doll Crafter magazine and elsewhere.

In 2010, Heidi was honored to be featured in the 2010 edition of Ripley's Believe it or Not book. Ripley's also bought a number of dryer lint pieces which are showing in their museums around the world"

Necktie School Bag

My sister's husband died. After his death and all the details that must be handled, there came the time to go through his clothing. My other sister is so creative. She snagged all of the ties in his closet. She took them home, cut and patched them together into pillows to regift to family members. Here's a sample of a good use for old ties.

Made with dryer lint.

YES - holding fabric near a flame. Do not try this at home (without super caution). You may not want the hubby to see you do this the first try, just show him the end result, then tell him how you did it, or your fabric may end up with fire extinguisher foam all over it.
