We are made in the image of the ultimate creator! We are creative! I have always loved making things. Now I am in to painting, quilting, doodling, sewing, making jewelry, and working with mixed media. More recently I have felt the desire to look for ways to connect my spiritual side to my artistic, creative side. One way I have done that is to put words and phrases in my works. Like mixed media necklaces that say "Be Salt" or "Dream Play". (Check them out on my Esty website.)
