I am a mixed media artist who enjoys using unconventional materials to create something beautiful. You can see more of what I create at www.treasuresofavalon.etsy.com and more of the types of supplies that I have at www.bitofearth.com although I do have much much more in the way of supplies than what is in my etsy shop.

I have three kitties (Freeman, Buddy, and Cadburry), a bunny(Thor), and 2 Guinea Pigs (Kevin and Rufus). And foster kitties!

I am a substitute teacher on the side, but my main passion is art. I travel all over the place during the summer to various art and craft shows. I specialize in using recycled materials to create my products. So if you have any pop tabs laying around I would really appreciate any that get thrown in as an extra with a swap. I also do Henna Tattoos at some of the craft shows.

I have very ecclectic taste in music but some of my favorites are Fur Elise by Beethoven and anything by Cyndi Lauper. I also love Ani DiFranco.
