About Me

I love crafts of all sorts- wood burning, mixed media, painting, paper crafting, and jewelry making. After working 45+ hours a week, crafting and reading are what get me by. Ummm, what else? I really like tattoo flash and sailor Jerry pinups. I've got 1/2" (0000g) gauged earrings and I'm inspired by Mexican style art like dia de los muertos, Frida Kahlo, and bright colors. The only craft I haven't gotten into yet is scrap booking, but I'm not sure if I'm ready to try it yet. I'm getting into doing Artist Trading Cards and I'm really interested in swapping them. I love to see other people's art.

If there are any food items, I am vegan so no animal products- no milk, no honey, no cheese, etc.

I'm 5'5" with green eyes and light light brown hair. I'm 165 lbs, and a little round around the waist. :) So if anything is sent to me that is sized... Please make it reflect my size. I'm a L-XL in women. My ring size is 7 and my wrist is 7". I favor darker colors. But I'm trying to expand my wardrobe to reflect more of the color wheel... having a hard time with that. :)

Favorite Crafts

jewelry, wood burning, painting, mixed media, altered art, vintage photography, acrylic on canvas, and pretty much anything burgundy. I love Tim Holtz crafts. I've been getting into Artist Trading Cards. Newest favorites include paper crafting, markers, washi tapes, watercolors are my current obsession but doing mixed media and throwing different mediums over the watercolors like stamps.

Favorite Movies

I love 80's b-movies, Molly Ringwald movies are my favorite: Pretty in Pink, The Breakfast Club, and Sixteen Candles. Also, anything inspired by a Nicholas Sparks novel.

My Inspirations:

I'm inspired by other artists. I like to learn new methods of art. I am in love with the art of Frida Kahlo. Pinup pictures, tattoo flash, rockabilly style, muscle cars, rat rods, Harleys. And when I'm in the mood for a little more peace, I'm inspired by images of Buddha and Ganesha.

Dislikes

  • Knitting and crocheting items. Only because I can't do it! :) I've tried... For some reason its something I can't seem to get down.
  • I'm really open minded so any art is beautiful to me.
  • Bright Yellow... It's not my favorite color at all. But if it's used with complimentary colors it's not too bad. -It's so hard to think of things I don't like because I'm open to anything really.
  • I dislike when people don't put effort into what they do. I like to see when someone is so proud of their work that they would be so honored to have the other person appreciate and cherish their hard work.

  • I STRONGLY DISLIKE HOLIDAY THEMED ITEMS OF ANY SORT. I'M REALLY NOT INTO ANYTHING CHRISTMAS THEMED ESPECIALLY.

Wishlist

So it had come to my attention that I didn't have a wishlist. I think most of the reason why I haven't had one listed here is because I'm really into all sorts of crafts. I'll bullet a few key things that I would ALWAYS be glad to receive:

  • Tattoo Flash
  • Scrapbooking background papers for use on my ATCs
  • Watercolor pencils, markers, brush tip markers, different art mediums

That's really all I can think of. Obviously anything on my likes section is good too.

Comment: Thank you for the lovely purse and bracelets! Loved all !!! The sea glass bracelet is my favorite!!!
Response: I'm really glad you loved it. It was my first time doing the seaglass bracelet but I thought it came out alright. I think next time I might go with a more translucent clay and see if that gives a different effect. I'm glad you like it! :)

Comment: Thanks! I love the holder too! You live just the next town over!
Response: Yeah I had noticed that. When I had received your address I was like OH MY GOODNESS, someone so close for my first swap, how neat! That's also the reason why I was worried it had taken so long to get to you.
