I am an artist by trade and by desire. I have been through so many different mediums of expression over my years. My hands just love to draw, sew, touch and create. Whether I add color by hand or by computer or do my work in glass, on paper, with memorabilia, metal, pencil, thread, fabric, watercolor, acrylics, I like to know how to use the tool properly. Lately I have been doing a lot of crochet. The yarns they have now are so outstanding. Sometimes it just seems there is not enough time in each day. I am also a collector of beautiful things. Especially if they can stimulate a pleasant memory, inspiration or just be a delight to my eyes. It just amazes me how many things I see on the web that I would never be able to see where I am. So many wonderful artists out there.
