...Other Crafty Curiosities!

- Art -

I've been drawing & painting since childhood, first inspired by the beautiful illustrations in children's picture books. I've continued to love painting mythic fantasy & very real subjects, beings seen and unseen - fairies, mermaids, witches, sasquatch, dragons and more. My art has appeared in several books, online magazines, and I regularly show at San Diego Comic-Con International's annual Art Show. Here is a sampling of my style. It can be found at my art *WEBSITE* with links there to purchase as prints, greeting & blank cards, mugs, pillows, and on a bevy of other useful products! (Sasquatch Experience)

- Writing -

Writing is something else I've loved all my life; ...as a child writing stories and poems, ...through school as a newspaper editor, ...later obtaining completion from the Institute of Children's Literature, ...and as a beat reporter for my community newspaper. A recent story of mine is included in the following publication. I love to collect typewriters, too!

- Fiber Crafts -

As long as I can remember, I've been knitting and crocheting. I grew up in a family skilled in several textile crafts....knitting, crocheting, sewing, quilting, embroidery, etc. I also learned to spin my own yarn! I love to sit in my fairy garden on warm days, spinning fiber into yarn! Very meditative! Here is a sample of some of my one-of-a-kind wares. More are available HERE at my Etsy Shop!
