about me
ZAPOldesigns is a small, independent online craft shop featuring designs by me, Karla Gibbs. The shop has been in operation since the early 2000s [although it was run under a different name for a few years] and I have had the pleasures of selling hundreds of items to very satisfied customers both online and in the physical world.
The shop features both beaded and hemp jewelry as well as recycled paper products perfect for that eco-conscious consumer. I have been leaning towards using more natural materials and purchase most of my supplies from independently run craft shops and other etsy.com sellers.

As a member of Etsy for Animals, I wanted to take a minute and post our link where you can get more information on the team and the charities we all support.

Check out their site at etsyforanimals.com.
Although I specialize in jewelry of many styles I have been mainly featured for my hemp jewelry. Meticulously knotted and reasonably priced, it's no wonder people are so drawn to it! Hemp is such a versatile fiber as well as very durable. I offer bracelets, necklaces, animal collars, as well as earrings made from hemp and incorporate wood, metal, stone and glass into my designs.

From now until sometime this summer I will be selling specially made mini plushes on my etsy site to benefit the Best Little Cat House in PA, who is a rescue for older and FIV and Lukemia diagnosed cats. They also specialize in caring for sick wildlife in the area.

It's been a super hectic few months so I haven't been around to post new blogs or even post some of my new crafts. As things get back on track with my life I'll be catching up with everyone and getting back into the swing of things.

To start of a new episode I am crafting up a very special fundraiser. Starting in March, I will be selling mini plushes starting at just $2; all proceeds from the plushes will go to the Best Little Cat House in PA [check out my MySpace for more info]. The plushes are adorable and are a perfect pet toy or mini decoration for your home, office, or anywhere. www.myspace.com/karlamariegibbs www.thebestlittlecathouseinpa.com
Just saying thanks to craftgossip.com for featuring my recycled gift tags in their newest blog on recycled crafts.

I've been tackling a new way to eliminate paper waste by crafting up these little ditties: recycled material gift tags. Prices start at $3 but you get at least a dozen tags that are completely recycled and recyclable.

I think for the new year I'll be experimenting with some earthy and natural materials: stone, wood, hemp, cotton, leather, etc... So make sure you check out the 'new pieces in shop' section on my site.

I've been toying with some ideas on how to use recyclable goods around my office and a few have stuck. Probably my favorite so far is this recycled journal/notebook made from leftover cardstock and scarp office paper. They're only five bucks a pop. Check them out.

I am at best my when I feel creative. I love art and nature and always try to mix the two. I hate not feeling productive and love working with my hands and giving birth to new creations big an small.
