About Me

Welcome to Twinkle Hill Studio!




My name is Jennifer Less and I live in Iowa with my husband Mark, our 2 boys and the pup. My sweet boys are Wyatt -10 and Colten -6. Our fabulous dog, Buford T. Copper, is a large English Springer Spaniel who is a dark shade of chocolate & white.

I have been creating as long as I can remember. I concentrate on my passions for decorating, crafting folk art and collecting all things primitive and vintage!

My work has been published in Country Marketplace, CardMaker and Create & Decorate magazines.

I work in many mediums- sewing, papier mache, painting, wood, jewelry, paper crafts & altered art. I enjoy combining areas and just love the challenge of coming up with exciting new ideas, and incorporating them with the old favorites. You just never know what trinkets and baubles I might come up with!

To my childrens' delight, we decorate the house up for nearly everything at our place. So it's a good bet that you will find many *Holiday* decorations in my listings! I especially love making ornaments and dolls. Some of my offerings are either limited editions or a *one of a kind* piece, with no pattern used. Sometimes, these things become so special to me, that it is hard to let them go! I take solace in knowing that a collector will give them a loving home. Hopefully you will find something I've made to be special as well. Each and every art item I offer is hand made, and always signed and dated - so you can be assured you are receiving an original, collectible piece of folk art.

I TRULY appreciate all your support and encouragement as I fulfill my dreams of bringing my original artwork to you! I thank you for stopping by to learn about me.

PLEASE feel free to contact me with questions, ideas, comments...just anything! I would love to hear from you :)

Published Projects

**** I had the cutest little Wish Fairy Box appear in the June 2008 issue of Create & Decorate Magazine. I just loved this whimsical altered/mixed media piece.








**** I had 3 St.Patrick's Day and also 3 Easter tags appear in a Spring issue of CardMaker magazine. Following are pictures of each of the 3 tags and then the magazine pages featuring those designs. I was very excited to have 6 projects in one issue! Thanks, CardMaker!


First the page with the 3 St. Patrick's Day tags


and a scan of the Easter tags page






**** In the February 2008 issue of Create & Decorate, nine of my Valentine designs were featured as a vignette. I was very honored and pleased. How nice to have 9 projects featured! Thanks, Create & Decorate! Some paper art tags, a fabric covered cone and Victorian vintage scrap face ornaments were all included.
A scan of the project vignette.


Here they are separately:



















**** In Summer of 2007, 3 of my paper art designs were in CardMaker Magazine. I did some Patriotic things for them, and these 3 designs were chosen.






Here they are in the pages of the magazine-




And as a delicious surprise, one of them even made the cover! It was a big shock...they never tell you anything in advance. But this really made my day!







**** My very first published project was this papier mache pineapple spindle that appeared in Country Marketplace~ April 2006.


I had designed the piece originally as part of an "All things Pineapple" swap I was in over at one of my Primitive/Artsy forums. The base was different woody pieces I glued and screwed together with hubby's help. A candleholder, a wheel, a tire, a knob.

Here is the pineapple spindle when it was still at my house.



I do miss this piece. They purchased it and I never did go back and make myself another one.


Stay tuned for heads-ups on other upcoming projects that will appear in print.
Thanks for your continuing support!
