Andie Solar
My name is Andie Solar and I'm a fiber artist born and raised in Slovakia, currently living in Seattle, WA. I specialize in punch needle and rug tufting because I LOVE TEXTURE! What started as fun transitioned into a full time business and it's all because of you, so thank you, from the bottom of my heart. When I first saw punch needle rug hooking video I was instantly hooked (pun intended)! I researched and researched and looked for the supplies which proved to be difficult. I wanted to learn, but none of the kits available (VERY few) spoke to me. So I made my own and I haven't stopped since 2017. When I'm not thinking about new kit ideas I'm creating my own art pieces for home with one main ingredient - coziness. |
