Swap
2008
It always amazes me how difficult it is to make that first snip into an old shirt... I went to a clothing swap on Friday, not knowing what to expect, except that my bag of clothing brought from my own closet would not be coming home with me. That was difficult for me as well. I suppose I become attached to clothes - more than I may realize. … [Read more...]

My first Craft Show!
2008

Just a thought, but the face might have been from the intense freezing cold that was permeating my poor bones (and it was only 8am!) The Chili Cookoff was a total success for chili cooks, but not so much for us crafters .... which was only like 5 people! Lesson learned: only sign up … [Read more...]

I think that the creativity is a gift that has to have its own freedom, the designs of my jewelry reflect my feelings and emotions, I always try to be dedicated in which I do up to being capable of saying that it is finished and therefore that it is possible to put in exhibition. I'm inspired with the colors of the nature mixed with the feelings and emotions that evoke me.
