Writing a Profile

Have you ever needed to write about yourself in a nutshell? It makes me nutty! I have been working on my flickr profile. And I decided to share a portion of it here. Just like my art, I could never have dreamed an hour ago, that this would be the end product. You gotta love that about life.

I am a writer and an artist, but primarily, I have been a homemaker and caretaker forever. I have an incredibly talented family that includes my husband and four children. I am certain my new grandson will follow suit. They are the joy of my life. Recently, I opened up my etsy shop which you can access here:

I upcycle, recycle and reuse our culture's plethora of consumer waste and discards and repurpose it into unique and useful pleasures for our future.

I love scissors. Scissors save. Scissors sculpt. Scissors satisfy. For me, they are the perfect extension of my visions. I never know when I begin a project, what the end product will be. I love that. I am using pieces of history. Some were once cherished. Others never intended to last but for a speck of time. But both possess endless possibilities.

Who originally held them, purchased them, made them, received them as a gift, loved or despised them, tossed them aside, and why? There's a story in that trash and every story is a treasure. I can take all of that, snip it into pieces, mix it all up, and voila ~ new history.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.


Good night, dear readers. Thanks for the visit.

Of course, we have to end with a photo of our scuppernut. Look at that talent. I was remiss in my profile. I should have added: I am always right.
