About Me

i'm a goofy, over-energetic 33 year old web developer/graphic designer girl who has art tantrums almost daily. these include, but are not limited to: altered art, altered books, shadow boxes, altered dolls, journal making, ATCs, mixed media arts, painting, etc. i'm also mama to an amazing four-year-old boy who enjoys art as well (at my last exhibit he had two paintings on display and sold one -- he's a great little artist indeed!).

Favorite Music

i have severe multiple personality disorder when it comes to music. love many kinds but hate hiphop, country and smooth jazz. today's favorites: the slits, old 97s, man or astroman, dead can dance, johnny cash and flogging molly (see, told ya -- multiple personality disorder).

Favorite Movies

love independent and foreign films most often. some favorites in general are: the warrior and the princess, once were warriors, like water for chocolate, hotel rowanda, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind...

Favorite Television

i don't really watch t.v. but i do like dexter, six feet under, rome, lost and any sort of forensic or murder type documentary. oh, and the discovery channel.

Favorite Crafts

altered art, altered books, shadow boxes, altered dolls, journal making, ATCs, mixed media arts, painting (primarily acrylic), etc.

i typically prefer to do more dark or grungy hues/effects to "girly" colors like pink or purple. i don't like teal for some reason and it disturbs me that i could be so judgmental about a sweet little innocent color. red is my favorite! love red, all hues (but not pink so much). glitter is great when used properly. i tend to lean more towards vintage nudes or asian themes in my art (this week), or abstract. love mayan art, mexican art, celtic art (knotwork!) and non-cutesy things with wings. aliens rock. i've always wanted to make a paper quilt.

oh, and i don't like "pet art" with fluffy kittens or puppies under rainbows or what-have-you but love birds and flowers in my art sometimes. a bit mental, perhaps, but love doing what i do. hope you like it too. :)

Lease Favorite Things Ever

nuts (allergic), too much glitter (there is a time and a place for glitter in my opinion -- not truckloads and not for every project), fluffy kittens and puppies under rainbows and crap, cutesy junk, sparkly animated GIFs, egos, art books with gorgeous covers and crap contents, and most of all, people who send you garbage on swap-bot because they are too lazy to put ANY effort into the swap.

Comment: I love what you did with the cards, but I really love that you did a 'before'! You HAVE to tell me what you did to the Buddha card--it's drop dead gorgeous! Thanks much!
Response: thanks so much for your kind note. in answer to your question, i glued some rice paper down over part of the page and painted over all of it except the little "window" to the japanese writing. i then painted several layers over it with various acrylic paints to give it lots of texture, added more bits of rice and other papers and painted over that again for even more texture. then just glued on the buddah and other goodies, and ribbon "hanger". i'm so glad you like it! it's kind of fun to see the "before" and "after" when doing these recycled sorts of swaps. i'm kicking myself now for not scanning or photographing it. do you mind posting a shot of it? betsy wants to see it (she's in our swap). :)
