I love to paint. My mother passed along her woodburning tool to me years ago. I combine those two things to make beautiful trinket boxes, magnets, wall plaques and unique home decor items.
Where you can find my items
I have provided some examples of my work here. My items can usually be found primarily on Etsy and eBay, though I have to go through what I have now that I've moved. Everything I sell is consolidated into clickable lists on AliciaMae.com!
