I am an artist (whatever that might mean), maybe a frustrated designer, frustrated writer or, possibly none of the above, who currently works with a number of craft mediums (jewelry design, embroidery, crochet...). I have two Etsy shops: samsstuff samsstuff.etsy.com (wearable art) & shellseye shellseye.etsy.com (photography, paper goods, household items & gifts) I hope you can stop by & visit.

I love photography, though I am new to the digital thing. I have done mainly 35mm in the past & digital is a completely different experience. I'm learning & hopefully, evolving...

I have done craft work since I was a small child. My grandmother taught me a lot of what I know.

I love to travel & have lived in or visited many places around the world. I currently live in Washington state with my husband & son, whom I love & work at a day job that I do not love.
