About Me

I am a fiber and mixed media artist living in Aurora, CO (just east of Denver) with my hubby the photographer, 3 dogs & one kitty. i make art quilts, mixed media assemblages and shrines, as well as art dolls, atc's and pretty much anything else that requires adhesive and/or my sewing machine.

Favorite Music

too many to mention!!!! i am equally likely to be listening to beastie boys as i am to the andrews sisters, bela fleck, ralph stanley, tito puentes, en vogue, ethel merman, vivaldi or billie holiday. thank god for itunes!!

Favorite Crafts

my first love is my sewing machine (don't tell my husband!). but i have also grown to love gel medium, found objects & hand carved stamps. probably the coolest thing about working in mixed media is the "mixed" part. whatever i want to put in my artwork is fair game. which, of course gives me a great excuse to get more art supplies!!!

and then there's this...

i am also a burlesque performer with a serious glitter/sequin addiction. if anyone is up for a pastie trade, hit a chicky up!!

random likes

shiny things, all colors, medical & scientific illustrations, birds, foreign languages, metal boxes, feathers (found not bought), ferns, rusty or weathered things, seed pods, game pieces, broken glass & mirrors, kindness, fortunes from cookies, vending machine toys, small bones, and sparkly beads

random dislikes

strong perfume, rudeness, disney princesses, olives, scrapbooking kits, intolerance & pickles

takin a break

i'm taking a break from swapping for a bit, as my costuming business is starting to take off (yay). when i can commit time to trades, i can't wait to get back at it...until then, i'll just lurk around the forums when i should be working (teeheehee)

Comment: I love that you made a fabric ATC. How did you get the saying printed on fabric?
Response: they sell a product called "bubblejet set" that you soak your fabric in, then you can just run it through your inkjet printer. amazing what they will come up with! glad you liked it!!

I have not had a chance to wear mine yet, but I showed them off and he really likes them. I should break them out this weekend! =)
I will let you know how it goes when I try the foam sheets - may even send you a pair so you can try them for yourself. I think the worst part might be the smell of the foam, but that should fade over time. Anyway, so glad you like them!

scrapcat on Nov 5, 2008:

Pasties thought: have you tried using the crafters foam sheets? I have some of them but have to get more sequins so I haven't tried them yet... =)

MommaRosita on Sep 28, 2008:

loved this quote from you in the forums:

merely the observation of a reasonably well educated, tattooed, pink haired 40 year old fat girl

You described me to a "T"!! Well, except that I don't have pink hair anymore. It's red now. :)

blessings, Gypsy
