Elliebelly Launches Unique Online Arts and Craft Boutique Featuring Beautifully Hand-Dyed Yarns, Original Artwork and One-of-a-kind Gifts

Elliebelly reinvents the concept of the “online store” with a unique artistic e-shopping experience, featuring handcrafted gift items, artwork, beautiful hand-dyed yarns and creative playthings.

Birmingham, AL (PRWEB) October 8, 2006 -- Elliebelly (http://www.elliebelly.com), a whimsical online boutique, carves out a unique corner of the web with its offerings of inspiration and one-of-a-kind products for aspiring creative spirits. Beautifully detailed handpainted clothing, gorgeously rich hand-dyed yarns, unique children’s toys and handcrafted journals speak easily to the artist within each of us.

In addition to focusing on original collage art, Elliebelly also offers both experienced and novice artists and crafters a full range of materials including hand-dyed yarns and fibers for knitters and felters and hand-dyed fabrics for creative quilters and sewers.

“I am excited about bringing together all of the things that I love in our exciting new online boutique,” said mixed-media collage artist, knitter and owner Joyce White Vance. “Whether you are an artist, an artist-to-be, or a lover of beautifully hand-crafted items, I have made a special effort to make sure that there is something for you at www.elliebelly.com,”; Vance continued.

Elliebelly includes those who are not quite ready to jump into the world of crafting by offering a number of unique gift items that are sure to delight the recipient. Vance’s one-of-kind collage art, vibrant childrens’s playsilks, hand-dyed scarves and delicately painted organic cotton baby onesies are just a few of the wonderful gifts available in Elliebelly’s distinctive online boutique.

As inspirations change and evolve, so too the offerings in the Elliebelly collection. Customers have learned to visit the site frequently, to avoid missing out on the newest batch of hand-dyed yarns or the latest vintage-inspired journal. Elliebelly also offers its customers the opportunity to send free e-cards, inspired by Vance’s soft, delicate collage art, to friends and family.

Prices in the Elliebelly collection range from $18 to $150 and may all be purchased online at www.elliebelly.com.

Artist and Elliebelly owner Joyce White Vance is enjoying increasing recognition for her arresting work in collage and mixed media art. Her work has been recently featured in Somerset and Cloth, Paper, Scissors magazines and included in the book Artist’s Trading Cards. Vance was among the exhibitors at Artwalk 2007, a juried art show in Birmingham, Alabama. Along with the other wonderful offerings at Elliebelly, fans of Vance’s work can purchase her unique collages directly from the website.
