I like crafts alot! I'm a crafter who loves to have a million projects going at once! In going with that, I'm a bead whore!!! Really, I'm a bead elitist! I'm a manager of a bead store, I make beaded jewelry all the time! And if I can't find what I want in my bead store I travel to other bead stores! I've recently become addicted to knitting scarves... I love all the soft blends and bright colors!!! Not to mention my addiciton to fabrics also! I've worked with fusing glass, a little lampworking, enameling, soldering, lost wax casting... it's all a ton of fun with color and fire! I love art in general! I like to visit galleries on second saturday and see what other artists have to offer. Some people just blow my mind with what they do artistically! I can only hope to achieve a higher level of craftiness someday! I'll wonder through the city just to get inspired...along with scouring through magazines and catalogs. I also love photography...I like taking pictures of friends and family! If I don't have my camera, I'm always ready to whip out my camera phone at any time! And I could go on and on, but you probably get by now that I like making things, and I like to see things that other people create! I've recently been working with Precious Metal Clay & love it! On the road to expiramenting more with that! =)
