I am a 33 yr old, artist, wife, and mother. My shop- The Studio and Art Bar is located at 29 North Beaver Street in Downtown York, PA. That is my work and my play really- I make stuff and sell it! It's not a living yet, but I am working on it! I am really a "mixed media" artist at heart. I am not a draw or paint kind of chick- I like getting my hands INTO stuff- dirt, clay, yarn, fabric, glue, cement. But at the shop I concentrate on fibers- yarn/ fabric. I make mostly wearable art- my fave being Faerie Wings! I have lots of "fine art" ideas- but here in York that doesn't pay the bills, so I find myself only venturing into the fine art area about once a year! Mostly I make what will sell in the shop! AND THAT SUCKS!!
I love selling my wares (wears) at the May Day Fairie Festival at Spoutwood Farm (www.spoutwood.com) and the Maryland Faerie Festival (www.marylandfaeriefestival.org). I am on Staff at Spoutwood and have tons of fun planning the Fest with my Faerie Friends! Vending at Events is soo much fun, I hope to do MUCH more of it in the future!
I was on HGTV recently! I was featured on the show That's Clever in 2 segments- the first I made fiber cement Toadstool Garden Furniture and in the 2nd I made Faerie Wings! It was soooo much fun to do and really interesting to see how silly you really are on film! It's sort of a double edged sword- my name and brand were recognized on National TV BUT now I have someone copying my art- a lady copied my wing making technique and is SELLING them! ARGH! I wouldn't mind if she was making them for her personal use- but to sell them makes me mad! SO all artists out there- DO NOT COPY OTHERS WORK! Man that makes me mad! I can say I used to be the only wing maker of my kind and that mine are the original SINCE I INVENTED THE TECHNIQUE!!!
So I have 3 daughters. That is fun. One is 16 and that can drive you nuts. She currently has blue streaks in her naturally black hair! With my permission of course! She's a good kid in general, but 16 is really tough for both of us! The 2nd is 14. She is the drama queen. As if she is the one getting the least amount of attention. She gets the most attention- good and bad- because she demands it. She really doesn't know who she is and wants to find out where she fits in- a hard place to be. The littlest is 6. And she is as evil as she is cute- and she is REALLY cute so you know she is REALLY evil, too! She just has a curious nature- and gets into EVERYTHING! She doesn't like to listen either so I can safely say she takes after both of her parents.
I've been married for 14 years! Mostly happily for all 14! And happily now- so we are doing good! He's a great guy- that has brought many new ideas into my life! I can say there are many things I would not be doing now- or would have ever thought about had I not had my wonderful husband in my life! And it's a good thing he's here. He's on myspace as StrugglingOak and is on my friend list.

What Mythological Creature are you? (Cool Pics!)
created with QuizFarm.com
You scored as Faerie
Faerie: Aren't you a cute little flying person? Faeries are earth spirits. They live among each element completely hidden. They have cousins called Pixies. Pixies however, are very mischevious. They enjoy tormenting other creatures for fun. Little pranksters.. I hope you never meet one. Pixies have a bad reputation for finding a creature and clinging to them until death. Faeries can be somewhat close to a Pixie, but mostly they are loving, playful, and carry with them a child-like enthusiasm for life. Hide among the pedals of a Daisy, you are a Faerie.
