About Me



Etsy: Your place to buy & sell all things handmade
CarmenRoseStudio.etsy.comHi, my name is Carmen and I’m a free lance artist. It does not really matter what media, I will try anything. Being in the creative zone is my favorite place on earth. I like to talk about philosopy, life and faith. I like making music and hanging out with my border collies. I am a fan of anyone who accomplished something in spite of the obstacles or pioneered something new and fresh. But mainly I love to create artwork.

Music:

Martin Smith of Delirious, especially the early Cutting Edge stuff. Fernando Ortega, especially the hymns and spirituals! Shane & Shane, Keith and Sanna Luker, Chris Tomlin, David Ruis, Rita Springer, Darlene Check (I know that isn't how you spell her name, but that is how it's pronounced) Sue Rinaldi, Misty Edwards, Kelanie Gloeckler, John G Elliott, and lots and lots of others! And in the old days I listened to Randy Stonehill, Larry Norman, Mylon LeFevere and Broken Heart, Carman, David Meece, Second Chapter of Acts and Russ Taff.

Movies:

Sneakers is still my favorite movie after all these years! One Night with the King: a prophetic tale; Monty Python, The Man in the Iron Mask: my favorite line from this movie is: "I wear the mask, it does not wear me!" I also like Rudy, Dead Poets Society, Finding Forester (and I hate to mention it but Legally Blond) because they are all great movies about coming into your own and living the dream no matter what obstacles stand in your way. Yeah Baby!

Books:

Nop's Hope, Hope's Trials, Dangerous Men and Dangerous Dogs... all by Donald McCaig who writes about working Border Collies. He is amazing and so are his dogs!

Womb Politics

I am not one of those people who vote on one issue alone, but this afternoon I gave some thought and research to the subject of abortion.  If I were to vote according to this one issue, where wou...

Announcement! See what you think of my latest project!

Yeah, so I'm all over the charts about working at a pizza place.  One day I love it, the next day I hate it.  I actually now have nightmares about waiting tables and managing waitresses.&nbs...

That homeless guy just popped me upside the head

One little question kept running around in my head this morning in church. (and apparently ever since)  What does it mean to follow Jesus, a homeless man?  Let me quickly say, I don't know t...

If this was the work of a righteous man, then what would the work of a wicked man look like?

Ya Know?  With all that talk about a man of faith getting the top job, I wonder how we got to this place.  First of all we have an election where less than half of us voted for the guy, but ...
