Dumpster Diver's Unite!
My weekly stop to the craft store was always a wonderful but lengthy adventure. My mind would race trying to decide which art or crafts project to conquer next.
I knitted, crocheted, sewed, stamped, beaded, wrapped wire, painted, threw clay and tried my hand at making jewelry. Some craft projects were completed and others were not.
While some of us are lucky enough to find our true art form, on the first pass, there are some of us that have a room full of unfinished craft projects awaiting our return. It really doesn't matter, as long as we continue to create.
Concentrating on one craft was a challenge for me, until the recycled movement kicked in. Now, I feel right at home!

Sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast. ~Lewis Carroll
Starting. Creating. Finishing.
Finding the time to be creative and then focusing on one creative art project can be a quite a challenge!
But ... once that tile gypsy awakens, you have no choice but to embed stuff into other stuff...just glue it!
If we all did the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves. ~Thomas Alva Edison
Make Something Beautiful With The Pieces
When a certain artist who makes mirrors, tables & bowls decorated with images, trinkets, tile fragments & often hidden words in the designs was asked what her artwork meant to her she said: "I think I like it because it tells so much about my story." Or anyone's life, for that matter...Life smashes things to bits and you put it back together & make something beautiful with the pieces."
Thanks for sticking around!!!
Have a great day!
