In 2007 I discovered a book called “Kaleidosope~ideas+projects to SPARK YOUR CREATIVITY” by Suzanne Simanaitis. It was pure eye & soul candy for me and reignited my passion for creating art. Over the years I have done just about every sort of artsy fartsy craft known to man: drawing, painting, cartooning, pottery, embroidery, jewelry, sugar craft, potpourri, quilt making, sewing, zine writing, knitting, dough ornaments, seed art, macrame, stained glass and last but not least collage. 

I was inspired after reading  what Ms. Simanaitis says in her introduction: ‘By the way, nothing in this book can teach you how to be creative. You already are  creative. The trick is to allow that playful impulse to blossom, and this book just might be helpful in that regard.’

Here are some examples of my art. In my posts I will share my methods and my inspiration. Column on the right has links to larger versions of work. Comments are appreciated and welcomed!
