Terry's Design Garden

Working in a variety of media, I design crafts mainly for consumer publications and kits.  It's been my joy to have been working in the craft industry for over 20 years and to have had hundreds of designs published in booklets, magazines, hardback book compilations and kits.

I'm always intrigued by new materials.  This wire and bead tree design won the Grand Prize in Toner Plastics' Designer Challenge in 2006.  They made it into a kit for the 2007 season.

I have had designs published using a variety of materials including needlepoint on plastic canvas, wirework, beaded home decor, jewelry, felt, dimensional paint, wood, fabric, and craft foam.  I have created crafts for children and adults.

This angel design won the Grand Prize in Toner Plastics' Designer Challenge in 2007.

These designs were on display at the CHA Winter Show in the At the Beach display.  You can see the tote bag in the July 2009 issue of Pack-o-Fun magazine.  The flip flops and jewelry set are in the Summer 2009 issue of Totally-Creative.  Find it at www.totally-creative.com

Some of the companies for which I have designed are:   Annie's Attic, The Needlecraft Shop, Publications International, Leisure Arts, Plaid Enterprises, Uniek, Stringing magazine, the New Berlin Co., Herrschners, Crafts, Crafts 'n Things, Pack-o-Fun, Krause Publications, Bead Unique magazine, Simply Beads magazine, Toner Plastics, as well as children's magazines, such as Highlights for Children.
