Cultivate the life outside.
The above photo speaks volumes; my little sister, Vanessa, in the front, flocked by three of my longtime, history holding friends. Denise, on the right, moved to Canada one year ago, owned an art gallery in Atlanta. David, who is Canadian, but no relation to Denise, snapped the photo (appropriately so) is a famous international photographer and Anderson, beside me, is another well-known artist and photographer. He and I share the same Birthday. We are banded and expanded by creativity.
This past Saturday marked another year of orbiting the earth. 12 whole months from June 17th 2016 to June 17th 2017, and if I have learned anything in that time frame, it's to fill life up to the brim with the people and things you love.
Right now, I am rolling through some changes, and am hopeful the next 12 months will prove to be exciting and hope-filled. With two big projects on the horizon, one in STEM and the other in Beauty, I can honestly say, things are looking up. I love learning & collaborating, but most of all, I adore the people who help me be a better person, and I hope I can offer them the same in return.
Here's to another spin around the earth!

For my Mother: Thank you - Led Zeppelin
If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.
When mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me.
Kind woman, I give you my all, Kind woman, nothing more.
Little drops of rain whisper of the pain, tears of loves lost in the days gone by.
My love is strong, with you there is no wrong,
together we shall go until we die. My, my, my.
An inspiration is what you are to me, inspiration, look... see.
And so today, my world it smiles, your hand in mine, we walk the miles,
When mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me.
Kind woman, I give you my all, Kind woman, nothing more.
Little drops of rain whisper of the pain, tears of loves lost in the days gone by.
My love is strong, with you there is no wrong,
together we shall go until we die. My, my, my.
An inspiration is what you are to me, inspiration, look... see.
And so today, my world it smiles, your hand in mine, we walk the miles,
Thanks to you it will be done, for you to me are the only one.
Happiness, no more be sad, happiness....I'm glad.
If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.
When mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me.
Happy Mother's Day Mommy,

For 75 years, the ACC has supported artists/makers, it is the very foundation of it's vast and rich history. To be able to be bring several hundred people together, under one roof, is quite a remarkable task! However, four times a year, the ACC show travels around the U.S. to give a jury-selected group of craftspeople an opportunity to demonstrate what they do. It is an elite group, some bringing several generations of handiwork with them.
Lucky for me and many, Atlanta is one of those stops!
This year, I spent time perusing, talking and learning from many of the makers, it was an awesome experience! See the attached pics!

With the first day of Spring around the corner, (Sunday!) and the chill of the last days of winter in Atlanta, (I hope!) I am feeling energized about the thought of warmer days ahead!
Aren't you?
One of the most striking things about Spring in the South is in nature's rebirth after winter. Everything is bursting with color, taking over the dull and dreary with vivid pops of bright everything!
I especially love designers who use nature as a catalyst for their work. The American Craft Council Show-Atlanta is this weekend, March 17th-19th! I'm so excited! For those attending, there are so many visually delightful treats in store for you! Seeing nature infused designs are one of my favorites at this show.
I am sharing a few picks from collections that I have admired from afar. I can't wait to visit these artists! I have listed their booth numbers & web links, along with their names, so check out their work and DO stop by for a visit!
I will be sharing via social media throughout the show! If you see me in person, stop and say 'hello'!

As a maker, who prides the hand cultivated, creating is my thing. I love making and learning about makers.
Over the years, I have learned the basics of looming, how to create felt and paper flowers, about the extensive aging process of making Scotch, the tiny bubbles in blown glass, mix media art and hand stitched fabrics.
All through attending the @craftcouncil show in Atlanta.

This year, as an Ambassador, I plan to once again visit with the makers & artists to learn something new and tell to their stories! I look forward to meeting new friends and seeing a few old ones too!
