Since I was a little kid I can always remember my mom being into some kind of craft or another. When I was really little until about my early teens it was woodworking & painting. She made some pretty good money at it, but gave it up when she had to buy yet again another new wood saw (can't remember what they were called but they werent cheap) and everything was getting so expensive. Next was airbrushing. She really got into that and i think she had a hella knack for it I was about 16 or so then. She did some awesome stuff, but when her parents (my grandparents) got sick she moved back to Pennsylvania to take care of them & sold almost everything she had to get there. I at the time was out of the house so was no huge deal it was what she wanted. At some point in time between there she picked up web page design & it blows me away the shit she knows. I always call her Mom help me fix this mess. (meanwhile i've been fuckin with the code for my myspace or whatever for hours trying to tweak it just right & she zooms in in like 4 mins & fixes it perfect GRRR) LOL.

Anyhow up to current times a friend of hers talked her into making jewelry etc. At first she was having fun, but buying beads etc could get costly. So she started playing around with making her own beads out of polymer clay and from there she has expanded to not just beads, but other things such as sculptures, ornaments etc.

Anyone who wants to check out any of her stuff I'm gonna post a link to her blog & utube she made of a bunch of stuff. Some of the jewelry is a bit big for my taste but she makes some awesome stuff. Check it out if you get some time, could make some nice gifts for christmas. She recently started making these cute business card holders that are selling great. They are shaped like couches and she makes custom orders in the person's choice of color to match thier business. I'd definitly say they are pretty cool & I'm proud of my artistic mommy LOL to bad I didnt get much of her artsy ways.
