Wisconsinmade.com Selects Kurek Designs to Join Wisconsinmade.com's Artisan Group

Madison, WI, July 10, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Wisconsinmade.com, an e-commerce gourmet food and gift store, is pleased to announce the addition of Andrew and Heather Kurek of Kurek Designs to its growing family of Wisconsin artisans. Wisconsinmade.com carefully selects only the finest-quality products made in Wisconsin and offers them for sale on the Internet. "These hand-turned, wooden pens and ornaments are so genuinely beautiful and make such unique, special gifts that we are thrilled to add them to our selection of Wisconsin products," said Linda Remeschatis, owner of Wisconsinmade.com.

About Kurek Designs:
Heather and Andrew Kurek began turning wood as a hobby nearly three years ago, then started selling their hand-crafted pens and decorative ornaments at Wisconsin art fairs. Today the Kureks are expanding Kurek Designs into a national market through partnership with the Internet company, Wisconsinmade.com. The popularity of the Kureks' functional wooden sculpture results from the luxurious colors, grains, and textures inherent in the Wisconsin-grown woods these artisans carefully select and individually fashion into cigar pens and ornaments. The Wisconsin woods used are walnut, oak, maple, cherry and cedar. The Kureks also create functional art by hand-crafting shed deer antlers. Their art speaks to Wisconsin's northwoods, rustic heritage but seamlessly fits into an upscale, urban world focused on quality and gracious beauty.
