SPACE A Design Build Collective: 7601 Greenwood Ave N
Artist: Amy Woidtke of EcoKind Design
Snowman Name: Mr. Snoman
About the Snowman: As an interior decorator with an eco-friendly focus, I am conscious that not everyone likes traditional red and green holiday decor themes, and I am mindful of using products in various shades of green such as having multiple uses and containing recycled, repurposed and nontoxic materials. Initially, I designed Mr. Snoman to fit a black, silver and white theme. However, his recycled material scarf and hat are removable, to allow for flexibility of one's color theme. Created with non-toxic acrylic craft paint, recycled buttons and fabric, and a dried plant stem.
About the Artist: Amy has been creative all her life in one way or another, with particular passions for helping others, interior decorating, love, and the environment. Through her business, EcoKind Design.com, she gets to play with these passions to help every day singles and couples create affordable, eco-friendly spaces that attract, nurture and rekindle the love that they desire.
