Christina Montaruli, My Tilted Canvas

Christina Montaruli is our  newest member of the Las Vegas Crafters Guild.  Welcome Christina!!  A former New Yorker from Long Island  ( yes, she still has the accent J), Christina lived in Florida for 13 years before  heading west to Las Vegas in 1995.

She was a hair stylist for 40 years but always had a love for  creating art.  As with many artisans, Christina has worked in different mediums from silver clay, to cutting glass and using a kiln to make jewelry and other small decorative items.   Christina  is a talented artist and paints with oil paints, acrylics, and watercolors. 

During the pandemic, Christina was furloughed from work as a hair stylist.  But, being a creative soul, she put her blow dryer to work not on hair but on creating different patterns and colors for acrylic pouring canvases.   Who  knew a blow dryer could aid in creating bold, abstract pieces with lots of texture and movement?

Christina has also mastered the craft of working with resin.  Her paperweights are fun pieces with different objects such as seashells, dried flowers layered in resin.  A great cottagecore gift item.  She also uses resin on wood and also creates beautiful coasters that little pieces of art.   Christina is constantly pushing the boundaries and making objects that are one of a kind, original and beautiful.

What Happened?

Here it is, the end of June and the months have just flown by!  It has been one big blur!

Our meetings started in January, we gained two very creative new members, Luibov Gasser and Vangie Velazco. Held a craft show in May.  BTW - it was our most successful show ever!  Many of our loyal customers came to shop and we gained some new ones.  It was so exciting to be back.

So now we are on hiatus until August.  Time for taking trips, trying new things and creating more goodies for our product lines.  Maybe organizing the craft room?  Hmmm.

We have been remiss about posting since there never seems to be enough hours in the day or night. Sharing pics to show that we are still here and crafting away.  

If you are interested in any of the items in our pics, contact us at lasvegascraftersguild@yahoo.com. We can put you in touch with the artisan.

Our fall Harvest Boutique is scheduled for Friday, October 1st and Saturday, October 2nd at the Sahara West Library.  Visit our Facebook page for updates:  https://www.facebook.com/thelasvegascraftersguild
