 I
have a million things I'd love to show you, but, it
would take a lifetime to load it all. I have chosen only
the most unusual, or the most fun to make to share with
you.
When you have done arts
& crafts for as long as I have you have seen most of it
and tried many of them and as the fads come and go you
end up with a repertoire of assorted crafts.
I didn't save many of my art projects over the
years, but these are my favorite ceramic pieces.
I have sewn, painted, created, designed, many crafts
in the last 30 years. The more you do the more you
want to do. This page is special because the items
here were all made with love. They are either the
most unusual or most fun to do

This headdress is truly a one
of a kind piece. I purchased a kit from Tandy
Leather. I bought extra feathers, rabbit fur,
leather, and beads. My husband tanned a Red Fox
hide for the front. I made a Papier-Mache` head
to mount the headdress and painted a hammered
brass look to the finish. I loved making this
piece! I gave it as a wedding gift to a couple
who wanted something unique for their Southwest
style home.

My favorite Pole.
He's a clown who loves you.
He won 3rd Place at the Lake County Fair in
1997.
This clown is a doorstop. He was inspired by my
Uncle Rudy who had a Vaudeville act with my
aunt, Yvette. He was a clown with a Unicycle act
on stage.

One of the things I
like best about the artist is she's always
looking at the world as her canvas.
Pretty popular guy, Uncle
Sam.
He's always there, flag
waving.
Keeping our spirits high.
