Howdy! Welcome to the depository for B & P Hempton's photos. We've recently returned to the Lone Star State & the beautiful, eclectic city of Austin, TX after 11 years in Seattle, WA. P is my kooky-adorable-computer geek-genius husband, Patrick. We also have one silly cat, Pooky.

I love painting, drawing, collage-making and sewing. I studied studio art at the University of Texas at Austin and graphic design at Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle. I have worked as a graphic designer and as a high school art teacher, but now work from home on my 2 crafty businesses:

I create handmade, earth-friendly stuffed toys, fabric collage, coloring cards and more! All products feature my original, whimsical animal designs.

The WonderCraft is an Airstream trailer business I started with a few friends. We have an awesome boutique full of handmade goods, and we do crafty classes & custom parties. We're on Flickr, too: https://www.flickr.com/photos/thewondercraft/

I also blog, if you'd like to take a peek: http://craftymishmash.blogspot.com/

Thanks for your interest in my photos & work. Feel free to add me as a contact; I love meeting new Flickr friends!
