Mary Bono's Profile

About

She has created full-scale wax figures and miniature scenarios. Her ETSY shop offers only some of her craft products: vintage button bracelets and brooches and "bag-bags"--handbags and totes fashioned from ordinary recycled plastic bags.

A graphic designer, illustrator, and avid hand-crafter--from a long family crafting tradition, Mary is the author-illustrator of UGH! A Bug, and the illustrator of Easy Street, both picture books. Her 3D illustrations have appeared in medical, music and children's books, on covers and in magazines as well as exhibitions, and have won a number of awards. The process of illustration, with it's specific idea challenges has stretched her imagination and technical skills in directions she might never have otherwise taken.

Her attitude: Just give me a hook, a ball of string, skein of yarn, strip of plastic, spool of elastic; I love to crochet any skinny thing into its own kind of fabric. I love all materials--old buttons for their character, mystery and endless variety, old findings, bits of clocks, shards, scraps...and I love a challenge, whether a new material, technique, tangent.
