CREATIONS
Everything in the Crafty Mantis shop is made by hand in Southern California by Amber Calderilla.
Items vary depending on season and availability.
Check the Instagram page or meet us at an exhibition to see the newest creations!
CARPET BAGS
These sturdy bags are just like what Mary Poppins would use. Each have a solid base, wire framed opening, and specially chosen upholstery fabric. Different sizes are available to fit your needs.
CROCHET ART
Some crochet uses a pattern, some crochet is free-form. All of it is original artwork created with different colored yarns and fibers.
KNIT GARMENTS
Knit Hats, Scarves and Fingerless Gloves to keep you cozy in the cold. The variegated yarn ensures that every piece is one of a kind.
DARUMA
These Japanese wishing dolls help keep you focused on your goals. These amigurumi style dolls use felt and crochet.
TRINKET POUCHES
Crochet pouches to hold your favorite trinket close to your heart. Each comes with a glass bead as a place holder that you can replace with a special crystal, lucky coin, or a love note from mom.
REUSABLE WATER BALLOONS
These absorbent crochet "balloons" soak up water to splash your target on a hot summer day. All the fun but without the mess of broken rubber bits on your lawn. Machine washable too!
