I like to think of myself as an artist, but find it impossible to do that full-time. I started making crafts as gifts for Christmas one year and then decided it was a great way to use my creative energy while I was between paintings. I try to use as many recycled materials as possible since I hate putting things in the trash. I never follow directions, so all of my items are designed by me without a pattern - this inevitably frustrates the ladies at the craft shows asking me how I made something.
