Rebecca's Icon Images & Creations

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

My life is about creation. I live, work, and breathe art, music, and craft. On my site you will see a glimpse of my creations....My work was originally created as a result of my own style, tastes, interests, and memories of childhood passions. With the encouragement and inspiration of Joe, the love of my life, and beloved friends, I am finding myself diving into different avenues of creative expression. The newest addition are my "Modern Monkey Design", sock monkeys. From my childhood love of a simple sock monkey given to me by my nana, my love for the toy never died. As a child I made my own monkeys, sewed simple clothing for my monkeys and even embellished them with yarn hair. Only recently have I returned to sewing and creating these special and unique toys. Sock monkeys have been around forever, but I am creating my own "modern" renditions of this childhood love. On my site you'll see just a glimpse of my monkeys...My art, which you can find in "my pictures" are icon portraits which combine cut paper, colored foam paper, foam core, and fabric that is glued and layered to create my own "pop" art style. All begin with a drawing done freehand...Myspace Layouts

My Interests

Being surrounded by art and music in nearly every aspect of my life....from my job, working in the Admissions Office at a local Art College, to social outings at local museums and venues for live music, and listening to my love, Joey V. create music and play in his bands "HeyVan" and "Off The Wagon" every week. Each band, so very different from each other, combine elements in their music for the young and old, alike (something for everyone!!). Other interests include diner and drinks with Joey and friends, chocolate, vintage nicknacks, old movies, pin-ups...

I'd like to meet:

People who are passionate about art and music!

Music:

I prefer to see live music and local bands but am willing to travel to such places as Massachusettes just to see The Blasters and Wilco, as well as traveling to Virginia and Maryland for Autumn Defense! Some other favs include Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Elvis, The HeyVan Band (please check them out! They are local & based out of Harrisburg, PA), Old Crow Medicine Show, Squirel Nut Zippers, Hackensaw Boys, Buddy Holly, The Beatles, Chris Issak, Avett Brothers, Johnny Cash,.....the list goes on and on...

Movies:

Many older flicks such as Gidget (with Sandra Dee), Marilyn Monroe films, Elvis (Viva Las Vegas!...Ann Margret) films, the Rat Pack and Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Audrey Hepburn.... I never get tired of John Hughes classics such as Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles, Some Kind of Wonderful, as well as John Cussack movies, the old and the new ones!

Television:

Discovery Health, A&E, The Learning Channel...general TV is background sound when I am creating....

Heroes:

I would say my parents. My Dad is amazing, intelligent, hysterical, and my Mom is the sweetest, caring, and most loving woman I have ever known!
