Show Wed/Thurs/Fri, October 2-4, 2019 Stuffin’ the scarecrow PUZZLE ANSWERS FROM PAGE C-4 TANZI PROPST/PARK RECORD Attendees of the annual Scarecrow Festival stuff their scarecrows with straw at the McPolin Barn last Saturday. Scarecrows are set up on the Farm Trail behind the barn and will be displayed through Oct. 28. Continued from C-1 Artist inspired by season The idea for the Halloween-themed works came to Hunter through the simple observation that a majority of Utahns she has met love Halloween. “I don’t know what it is, but it’s a big thing here,” she said. “So I thought we could do some fun things with the skull mandalas and scarves.” Hunter’s love for textiles were cultivated by her grandmothers. “They were both very crafty, and I learned to crochet when I was 5, which was 60 years ago,” she said. “So I’ve been doing this for a long time.” In addition to learning how to crochet, Hunter taught herself how to knit and tat, before she earned a degree in textile design, with an emphasis in weaving, from the University of Vermont. “In college I was interested in design, and got really caught up in weaving because we had an excellent weaving program,” she said. These days, Hunter is content making hats and mandalas that look like tatted doilies. “Making hats is something I can do in the day or in the evening when I have some spare time,” she said. “It’s funny because I don’t have a lot of patience for other things, but I can sit and work on a mandala or scarf for hours.” Sometimes Hunter designs the patterns herself, and other times she buys a pattern to follow. “As a designer myself, it nfeels wonderful to support another designer by buying their -designs,” she said.

COURTESY OF ARTIQUE Artique will showcase Mary Ellen Hunter’s handcrafted table center pieces as well as woven mandalas that are inspired by the colors and spirit of the season. Hunter met Artique owner Katie Stellpflug five years ago. “I had crocheted a mandala and gave it to a friend who knew Katie,” Hunter said. “My friend said I needed to go to meet Katie, because I could start selling some things at Artique. So, I went over one day and have been involved with the store ever since.” Hunter said Artique’s co-op mission is a great idea for local creatives who don’t have time to create enough product to make a full-time living. “I think it’s delightful to have a place where all of us can put our stuff together to show and sell and have some fun,” she said. “For me, having it be fun is important.
