I Love the way the pages of this Mini Album have arrows pointing in every direction... perfect to represent the many turns and detours of my road trip, especially when trying to find my way around big centers I had never driven in before.
I have always been drawn to nature. As a kid I collected rocks. There was just something about their beauty that called to me. Each one is unique even if you have a handful that all came from the same place. Well when we look to the beauty and diversity in nature we see a magnificent art. It tugs at something inside me that just needs to connect with it. So I love to walk in the wilderness of our world, breathing it all in. Then when I breath out, out flows a creative essence that begs to be expressed. The diversity of how that creativity comes into the reality of my world is as vast as the many aspects of nature.
Using an artist's mind I see color, lines, shapes, depth, contrast and compliment. With a crafter's heart I feel joy, love, compassion, and such an array of emotion that it must be felt, touched somehow. As a result I am a "visual" and "hands on" kind of gal. I dabble in many mediums of hand crafting. I especially enjoy creating that which not only has visual appeal but also has some form of practical use.
So here I share with the world the various ways in which I express my artist's mind with a crafter's heart. May your journey into this place bring you pleasure and inspire you to create the beauty you hold within!
Artsy Crafty Gal
I have alwys loved ART. Through school I loved trying the many forms of art we were taught. I never quite found the thing that was completely "my thing" in art. So in the continuation of my life I find I dabble in all sorts of various art and craft forms. I have played with acrylic, oil, water color and glass painting. I have done beading, soap making, papercrafting, scrapbooking, and so much more. Perhaps one day I will find "my thing" and focus on one form of creating arts and crafts... although I doubt it. Meanwhile I enjoy expressing myself creatively through many mediums.
I am married to a wonderful guy, have 3 amazing step-children and a beautiful new step-grand baby. (He's a doll!) I have a sweet little dog. I am a caregiver to my maternal grandmother who lives with us and I also work part-time in retail.
I am a member of the
Kelowna Center for Spiritual Living.
I love my family and I am blessed with the best friends in the world!
