The Littlest Bean

The Littlest Bean's work is driven by a curiosity about color, shape and texture. Using randomly cut fabrics, intricately cut felt, and an assortment of found media, artist Jen Menkhaus, creates one-of-a-kind accessories.

Each piece is carefully hand-cut without a template, hand-stitched and embroidered. Jen notes that she loves it when her work makes someone else as happy as it makes her.

Let Jen's artwork inspire a smile at the Spring Thing on Saturday, May 21st!

Tsai Fi

Tsai-fi (pronounced sci-fi), a collection of twisted but adorably, cute artwork was launched five years ago as a creative outlet for artist Kimberly Tsai.
Kimberly is inspired by daydreams and her own world of make believe. The world of tsai-fi was created to be an escape from everyday life, so her love of fantasy movies is a huge influence for the art. The other two major inspiration areas include popular Asian culture and Kim's everyday life experiences.

Yep. Tsai Fi and her incredible artwork will be at at the DC Craft Mafia Spring Thing on Saturday, May 21st. Come say HI!

Fuzzy Mug


FuzzyMug‘s Brooke Behnken is a professional graphic designer, business owner and a HUGE animal lover. When she’s not creating custom pet portraits, she volunteers her time and design know-how to local animal shelters.

Her own four cats and three dogs were her inspiration for FuzzyMug and they are often coerced (with many treats and promises of long hikes in the woods) to pose for Brooke’s portrait ideas.

Catch FuzzyMug at the DC Craft Mafia's Spring Thing on May 21st!
