I am a 50 year old widow who is still trying to figure out who I am, now that I am alone. My husband and I had been married for 22 years, no kids, self employed artists. I have a couple of young cats who keep me on my toes. They are sisters, but couldn't be more different if they were chalk and cheese. Koosh-Koosh is my little sweetheart, and Melon, well let's just say she has a challenging personality and leave it at that. I live in my studio, it's pretty raw space, but it has great windows, high ceilings, and open floor plan. I love crafts of all sorts, scrapbooking, bookmaking, papercrafts, to that end I'm a packrat. I love to find new uses for old things. I'm an Aunt 12 times over, so they add alot to my life. I paint every day, though lately my work has been pretty dark. I might have to get a real job, but I don't know as what. I'm just learning to use the computer at my local Library, I've gone from "hopeless to pathetic " so it's slow, but I'm getting there. My favorite colors are jewel tones and earth tones. I'm not so into pastels, but I like them sometimes. It really depends on my mood at the time. The only color I just can't stand is the toxic-pea green I was forced to wear as a bridesmaid. That was an expensive dress too! I don't really collect anything in particular, though I seem to have quite a few things with turtles or lizards on them. I also like hawks, love to watch them soar. I seem to paint bears alot, I like thier shape, and they sell better than my lizard paintings. I'm all about comfort. I don't dress to impress, my furniture doesn't have to look good, it just has to be easy to clean and be comfy. I love antiques, but I don't want to be responsible for them. I like vintage stuff, my favorite flower is the pansy. I love making dotee dolls....it's become my latest obsession.
I like all kinds of music, from opera to country, I love going to local open mike nights to hear new original music.
give me a feel good tear jerker
I don't watch much tv, but I like the Ellen Degeneres show. I also try to catch survivor
I like them all, I don't do well with yarn, but I think I've at least tried it all. I love to bead, embroider, and weave, but I need to let my 2 kittens grow up and get lazy before I get back to those pursuits.
I love beads...all types and sizes. Alot of people don't care for seed beads...frown on pony beads...don't think that plastic beads are real beads at all, but I love them all. I seem to go through alot of amber colored beads, I can never have too many rocailles or pearls. I think I like the lampwork beads the best.
embroydery floss...any color
bits of ribbon, lace or trim of any sort
ephemera, especially vintage style things
clip art
handmade paper scraps
any type of rhinestone, buttons, game peices etc appropriate for altered art.
tea...especially black or herbal
