Peg & Awl

Peg-&-Awl“We are Walter and Margaux Kent, husband and wife. We have a boy called Søren and a boy called Silas.

“We live and work in Philadelphia, Penna.

Our work is made from olde things. Treasures found and recovered from misfortune and neglect, relics of the unusual, the confused and the macabre, cut and pulled and built into wearable curiosities, and useable, long lasting keepsakes. We used to make them for ourselves and now we make them for everyone.”

Peg and Awl began without a plan, a fortunate pairing of two minds, different but in sync. Both Walter and I have a fervor for history, though we each unearth our passions in different ways.”

Jung Jung

JungJungLittle information can be found for Japanese artist, Ito Amika. She started playing with needle and thread at a very early age. She studied painting at an art university and worked in many jobs before she went solo in 2012. We are totally engrossed with the realistic detailing of her crochet creations sold under the brand name, JungJung.
