I want people to SEE me!

For those of us who know we have talent. We darn well know it! But, it seems like everyone else gets seen before us. Sometimes we are in the shadows, sometimes we wonder why we do what we do! It's because, we LOVE IT! And we want others to love it 2

Updating finally :)

Hi all ! So this is what happens when you join too many art sites --keep forgetting to get them updated lol !

Anyhooo, I've been busy creating felt and fabric brooches. My latest ones are Stinky Socks, woohoo !

I've also taught myself how to do a blanket stitch and get real satisfaction making a brooch that looks all tickedy-boo.

Apart from family that's about it, and enjoying it all very much !

Take care, hope to get back here within the month.

Still haven't figured out what I want to be when I grow up !

I've taken a big break from my altered art, combined with always feeling like I HAD to be in the front of Etsy, it was all becoming less joyful and more of a headache. It's hard to create when it becomes 'working just to make a $ or two'.

So I began game piece pendants...and am not thrilled with them. They're fun little items but lacking the 'oomph' I'm looking for.
