Custom made pillows

I just completed a set of pillows. I had a set of fabric flowers that I had originally created for a wall hanging. The plan changed and I made several pillows from the fabric flowers. You can see more in my Etsy Shop at the link on this blog. Check it out! Contact me for custom projects!

Record-Herald Interview at Martensdale-St. Marys

The Indianola Record Herald recently came to my classroom to interview myself and students about our participation with the On-line Art Gallery, "Artsonia". The took some nice photos of my 1st and 2nd graders. They were all very excited to be interviewed and photographed. To view the article: Record-Herald The original article in the paper had more photos.

This was a fun thing for the kids and myself.

What's with the Barbie?

A few years ago, I returned to college and earned my Teacher Certification. I took classes at Simpson College and took a Digital Imaging class. I had an early "Midge" barbie like this when I was young. I acquired the barbie from a family member and took pictures to sell the doll on ebay. The pictures were interesting and took several to use in the class. The pictures were a hit. I continued to develop my Photoshop skills and change the image by adding details for my Facebook profile. Midge has become an alter-ego of sorts.

I made a sale!

I am currently posting my wall hangings on Etsy. I received an inquiry for a custom order for a flower wall hanging.

I am hoping and planning this as a beginning of sales of my textile art and paintings.
