Newest Piece

This is a piece that was inspired by a comment from fellow Etsy beadweaver, Carol Dean. She liked my "A Light for Easter" candleholder and said that it would make a great cuff bracelet. Since CD made the suggestion, I asked her to name it as well and that is how "If Harlequins Lived in Florida" came to be...

WOW

I didn't realize it had been a week since I posted. Time has really been flying by since I started my new job. It's a real challenge for me since I'm such a night owl and I'm trying to deal with early morning hours. I am coping OK, but it's taking a lot of getting used to. I will try to be better about posting and updating now that my schedule is becoming more reliable!

Art2theExtreme

I am an elementary art teacher from Indianapolis, Indiana. I graduated from college with a Visual Arts Education degree and a Ceramics concentration.

Travel is a HUGE part of my inspiration to create art. I have been to England, Scotland, Mexico, and lived in Italy for a short period of time to study art.

I love working with ceramics, printmaking, and fibers most of all! In my free time, I create art to share and sell, as well as scrapbook.

Art is all around us. It is everywhere and in everything.
My art is my world and I guarantee that my work is 100% original and of the highest quality. Buyer satisfaction is of extreme importance to me.

Evening of Stormy Saturday

Here is Sadie braving the blizzard. She went out onto the deck and the snow was up to her chest. She looked around and then dropped her head right into the snow and started licking it up! Silly puppy!

Midafternoon Stormy Saturday

This is from this afternoon (about 3:15pm) and the photos from the previous post were from about 10:30am. So you can see the difference there.
