I cannot even begin to explain what JOY, sheer JOY, it gives me to be writing that Autumn is just around the corner!! I confess it-- I am one of those weirdos who love cold weather--give me a mound of blankets on a comfy bed, a cup of tea, crafts and classic films, a good book or magazine as I snuggle up in that comfy bed, add my cat Jolly, and I would be all set! The coziness of Autumn is such a blessing to me, as it brings people closer together sharing that warmth between them. These are two of my cards from my upcoming Autumn collection of Art Cards. They are multi-layered, jeweled, and chock full of rich, deep autumn tones. Keep an eye, because there's more to come!

       This is my newest journey. Taking my creations to the streets, so to speak. In June of this year, I did my first ever craft fair with the 3D art cards I create. They are greeting cards with a place on the back for your  message, as well as a decorative item you can hang on your wall. This makes them a longer lasting keepsake that the receiver can continue to display and enjoy everyday. I've also made many that can be used for the buyer to decorate their homes with, as art. This is the first year that I've streamlined my styles and ideas for a cohesive collection of decorative items, and I'm looking forward to it's growth and expansion to hand sewn items and prints of my artwork. In this picture, I am standing in the center with my wonderful support system, one of my besties, Marcy and another of my besties, my Mother, Clara. This day was a great success, and gave me a feel for the atmosphere as a seller. I also met some lovely sellers around me, and am looking forward to my next fair on August 29th in Beacon, NY.

Hello! Welcome to my new blog to feature my thoughts and works in progress for my creative line of decor items!
