About Joan Game:

​Hello!  I’m Joan Game and here is a little bit about my work. 
​
Over the past four or so years, since the arrival of our granddaughter,  I began making felt food for her.

I’ve always loved experimenting with a multitude of media and color, while using my formal art training along with craft skills I learned as a child, like sewing!  Combining those, helps me to reconnect to my past, my long lineage of women who sewed for their families.

In hopes of bringing joy to others, I work to make my felt pieces colorful, joyful, whimsical and fun.  Hand embroidered embellishments on the pieces help to highlight different aspects where it is applied.  
​
I love the challenge of designing my own patterns for the large variety of felt items, which has included vegetables, fruits, greens, woodland animals, birds, desserts, small meals, flowers, mobiles, wall hangings, and more.

Each felt item is lovingly made.  I hope you enjoy!

The Online Pre-Sale for the 2022 Nature-Inspired Holiday Art Market will be available 9am, Saturday, November 26 - 5pm, Friday, December 2. Visit the In Person Sale at Brushwood Center on December 3 & 4 for an even wider selection of items for sale and additional giveaways and discounts!
