My name is Cheryl, and for the last seven years, I have been designing & constructing accessories.
.
I live in rural Alberta, with my husband, chocolate lab & red heeler. I spend the majority of my time in my studio sketching new ideas, soldering, assembling, and creating new items.
My background is in graphic design. Wanting to try a different creative outlet, I began to design, forge and sell handmade goodies the summer of 2005. I started with a shoppe on Etsy, June of 2005, and the rest is history.
These days, you can find my accessories in my online shop (Cargoh), at the Edmonton City Market Downtown on 104th, Headcase Hats (124th location), Bamboo Ballroom (off Whyte on104th Street) and at various craft markets and events throughout the year.
(in Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver)
"Handmade is like giving life to an object. When you create something, it owns
a piece of your soul, a piece of your passion and your style."
