About Me:

I'm into all things crafty.

I've been beading and sewing as a profession since 1993. It all intensified when my roommate asked me to go on Dead tour and guerilla vend with her on Shakedown Street. I've also shared cooperative booths at Michigan music festivals including Bliss, Farm Fest, Blues Sunday and Spirit Of The Woods.

I'm inspired by planting seeds and singing songs, local wild edibles and medicinals, bottles, trash, dryer lint and sometimes cat tail fuzz for stuffing, jars, twigs, sticks, marbles, beads, scrap copper electrical wire, gemstones, sacred geometry, spiritual endeavors, being a busy bee, community cooking fires, pot lucks, drum circles, and the pheonix rising up from the fire to the luminous lovelight of the One.

I would love to inspire or create an artist cooperative in Central Michigan. Building cob houses, creating svo and wvo kilns to recycle glass into treasures and make pottery. One of my passions is to utilize things that the masses typically throw away and turn these disrespected items into useful, respected functional artwork.

~Networking Bliss~

Well I think I have about all of my networking info tied in one place right now. I'm going to update the starsunflower site's networking icons to display the many I have missed. I'd love to find a technical writer to help me rework my bio and incorporate some information regarding my passion for geekery.

My google profile resides here with all of the links that I have found so far displayed.

I see that you are in Rothbury, will you be at the big fest this summer? I might be there, but my clothing will be there for sure. I'm sharing a booth with a few mamas. It seems like it will be so much fun!

Shoot me an e-mail at the above address and we can talk about what you would want .... a range of different sizes or all one size. Most wholesale drums are made to order. ie...you tell us what you need and we make it. Thanks for the interest.
So you're in Michigan? I am a native Minnesotan. Miss it sometimes and then the flowers bloom here in Oregon in February and I think "well it's not so bad here!"
Have a great day!

I see you use recycled/scavenged materials. Excellent! One of my favorite things. A lot of my wood is scavenged too!

Thanks for your acknowledgments and words of praise! You almost made me blush...I love your seed bead weaving-I teach basic stitch skills in NC where I work, but don't have the patience to sit and create fine work such as yours...see you again soon...
