ASIDE FROM CHATTING WITH ALL MY AWESOME FRIENDS HERE ON MYSPACE I AM ALSO HERE TO PROMOTE MY ARTWORK, BEADWORK AND FURNITURE THAT DAVID AND I MAKE.
********************
CAT MAGICK IS THE LATEST ACRYLIC PAINTING ON CANVAS THAT I JUST COMPLETED TODAY (05-07-08) It IS 12" IN SIZE. DAVID DID THE METAL WORK AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF THE PAINTING!
HERE IS THE LATEST PENCIL ILLUSTRATION THAT I HAVE COMPLETED FOR MY GRANDPA'S BOOK.
These drawings are from my "Fantantasy Is My Reality" series. Sadly at the 72 dpi resolution of the Internet a lot of detail has been lost in my pencil drawings, they are actually much more detailed then they appear on these slideshows!

HERE ARE SOME PENCIL DRAWING THAT I HAVE RECENTLY FINISHED
..
I love drawing. I have a computer program that reads for me so I enjoy listening to ghost stories and murder mysteries while I do my artwork, The Old Wife's Tales is my favorite site, go check it out! I have also become addicted to old time radio ghost story podcasts! YES I AM A PODCAST JUNKY!!!
I grew up watching my grandma do beadwork so it got me interested in doing beadwork myself. I make nontraditional medicine bags, painted rock jewelry and dancing sticks which you can see on my website.
I love working on my website and myspace pages. My husband taught me web design we designed and maintain my website at www.artbymargaux.com
I am learning how to design computer graphics; I work with Corel Draw and Photoshop. I am very familiar with Corel Draw but I still have a lot to learn in Photoshop. I have designed most of the graphics on this page.
I love photography but I found regular 35mm cameras to difficult to see everything is so tiny, so I have been taking digital pix with the cool new Canon camera that my husband got for me! The LCD screen is big and easy for me to see and the camera has a million and one special effects that I am learning how to use. Black and white photography is my favorite.
I love writing stories and some poetry. I find this rather funny because I always hated English in school so it surprises me that I ended up enjoying writing LOL.
At a very young age I have always enjoyed watching horror movies, murder mysteries and ghost stories and now I enjoy collecting and watching them.
In 2003 I started doing Lakota Traditional dance at pow wow's and I absolutely love it! I wish I had the time to dance more often! My mom made me a black ribbon dress that you can see in my about me section I love it but would like to eventually make myself a real buckskin dress and do beadwork on it.
I love to travel and explore new places! My husband and I can't afford to travel all over the world but there are many beautiful places in North America to see and I am hoping that some day my husband and I can start to travel more.
I love cooking; I like to experiment with new recipes or just making up different dishes myself. On those rare occasions when my husband and I go to the city I love to try different ethnic foods YUM!!! I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I AM THE QUEEN OF SUSHI!!! YES I MAKE GOOD SUSHI FOLKS!!!
My husband and I love to go to second hand stores, thrift shops and second hand bookstores. You can get some really unique and interesting items in these places. Our house is filled with all sorts of eclectic items; many of them cat themed, that we have collected over the years.
David and I love to make wine. There is something very satisfying about having a rack full of homemade wine in your basement. We also like to drink it lol!
I like working out it makes me feel good to be in good physical shape.
I love to light up our wood stove in the backyard and sit with my hubby and some friends with a good glass of wine on a cool evening!
I collect cat ornaments or anything that has a cat theme from knickknacks to cat fabric, clothing, dishes etc.
It is my goal to become a krazy kat lady. As I get older I intend to indulge my excentricities! I intend to wear to much dark makeup and dress only in black and maybe shade or gothic purple and black! lol I don't plan on being your typical granny!!!!
I love nature (I am not a city gal) I love living in the mountains I couldn't imagine living anywhere else! I love our beautiful Kootenay Lake, which is only about 25 miles from our town. For me the city is a nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there.
I love to explore ghost towns and learning about their history but sadly I haven't seen any ghosts yet!!!
If I had the chance I would love to get involved with paranormal investigations but we don't have anything like that in our area.
Some people think that this is creepy but I love to go to old graveyards. I think the headstones and mausoleums are beautiful and I love to photograph them and read who the people were and how long they lived!
A LITTLE CULTURE FOR ALL YOU SOPHISTI-CAT-ED CAT LOVERS!
Thamk you for the beautiful gift sweeetie!
PEOPLE WHO I WOULD LIKE TO MEET AT MYSPACE!
People who are interested in Native American culture, traditions and history.
Fellow artists.
People who have disabilities, would like to hear their interesting stories.
People who love Horror movies as much as I do!
Fellow cat lovers!
People who publish books or have had their own books published.
People who are interested in unexplained phenomenon, ancient cultures, UFO's, ghosts and hauntings, etc...
CELEBRITIES WHO I WOULD LIKE TO MEET!
Don Shanks * George Wilbur
Dick Warlock * Gordon Tootoosis
Diane Wiest * Jodie Foster

I am a huge fan or Voltaire's music and I think that it would be great to get a chance to meet him in person or at least see a live performance!

Jesus (so I can get the REAL story)
Nikola Tesla - Albert Einstein - Edgar Cayce

I would love to be able to go back in time but remain unseen and visit these places!
Egypt, Grease, Rome, I would love to see first hand what these places really looked like in ancient times and how the people lived.
I would love to see Romania and the places where Vlad Teppich lived and what he looked like. Vlad was known as ?€˜Vlad the impaler?€? and was also the person whom the character Dracula was loosely based on. You can see some of the places where Vlad resided but many of them are now in runes. I wouldn't want to see the things that he did to his victims!
I would love to see what Elizabeth Bathory ?€˜The Blood Countess?€™ really looked like. I have seen paintings of her but they aren?€™t very good. Some say that she was very beautiful and some say that she wasn?€™t.
Ir would be interesting to see what the valley I live in now looked like a thousand years ago.

I HATE ALL REALITY TV SHOWS BECAUSE I THINK THEY ARE AS FAR FROM REALITY AS YOU CAN GET!!!!
---------------------
I don't like shows that glamorize plastic surgery! I think that these shows are what make naturally beautiful people un happy with themselves, especially teens!
--------------------
The show 'What Not To Wear' really sucks! Oh my GAWD lets just take someone and strip them of the dignity by throwing away all their clothes after they have modeled them for us so we can make fun of them on national television! Then lets give them a credit card (how generous) so they can go and shop in REALLY expensive stores that the average person couldn't possibly afford to shop in so that we can change them into the person that 'WE' think they should be!!!! Oh yeah if you have long hair (like I do) they chop it right off and get pissed if you don't want it cut short!!!! Hello earth to stupid fashion people! Not every woman in North America wants to have short hair!!!(Taking a breath) I have to say that the British version of 'What Not To Wear' is actually good those two ladies are actually quite charming and funny and don't strip you of your dignity while giving you fashion advise!! You go girls show'em how it done!
I have the right to my opinion about shallow shows! Why don't they make a show about people improving themselves from the inside out because that is what is important!! I have seen a lot of well dressed beautiful people who are really ugly inside when you get to know them!!!!
Over the years I have collected and read many books about ghosts, hauntings, wicca, the history of magic, vampires, cats, ancient civilizations, unexplained phenomena, astrology etc. There are just far too may to list!
Here are a few of my personal favorites!
My husband David and I both have a passion for cats. Any time we are in book stores David is always finding books to add to our ever growing cat book collection!
HERE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE AUTHORS
Stephen King - Anne Rice
John Saul - Dean Koontz
Agatha Christie
I also love gothic ramance novels!
