Sorry its has taken me so long to reply. I had a flare up and down for a couple days.
I visited Israel in 2003 and when I came back I felt this need to capture in paint my experience. Totally weird --because I was not a crafty or artsy type person. I had tried because my mom was but nothing I did ever came out.

So when coming back from Israel and taking up crafts/art was like a gift. It began with me painting scenes on rocks I had brought back.
Then with 4 grandkids and their numerous school projects which all of a sudden I had tons of ideas etc... I am telling you this was like a 100 degree turn around.

I mostly paint but I have expanded that to painting clothes--you know--go to the thrift shop and pick up jeans and use fabric paint to create designs that some are paying hundreds of dollars to get out of the store.

The last project I had was making small treasure boxes out of boxes that they sell those cream puff poppers in.
Lots of hot glue--shiney stones--acrylics --fabric etc...
But everyone still want the painted rocks and thats where the motivation is a problem--i have to many unfinished.

Kind of hard to explain the crafts I do as it is simply ideas that pop in my head not the more exceptable modes that the good crafters do.
What kind do you do Curious?

Thanks for talking with me
