Painted Items, Burp Cloth Sets
Scarlett Butts is a self-taught artist and seamstress.
Although she does not classify herself as an artist, she admits that crafting
is an art-form. Scarlett believes that anyone can paint, as long as one
tries and keeps on trying. As a stay-at-home mom, she appreciates the ability
to be creative, provide an additional income, and be with her family as much as
possible.
Created out of necessity, Scarlett’s burp cloths are made from
standard cloth diapers. She found that making her own burp cloths for her
boys was more economical and rewarding than purchasing ready-made. Scarlett’s
bulletin boards begin as ordinary ceiling tiles that she paints free-hand. Her
choice of colors reflects her vibrant personality. Since she loves to
personalize items, she is always open to the buyer’s personal preferences.
Scarlett’s works are also available at Camden Jewelry
and Gifts, Camden.
