yep, it's me
As a child my nick-name was katybird, because as a baby my mother thought I had little bird-like lips (aaw). She said I would open and close them like a baby bird when I was hungry (aaw), so she started to call me katybird and it stuck. One of my sister’s still calls me bird from time to time. What can I say it’s the true story ~ sappy as it is.
So I was the kid who stayed in her room for hours and hours with her paints, beads, leather, sewing, or whatever, doing artsy stuff. Hours would fly by and I can distinctly remember being disturbed when I was called up for dinner at 5pm.
The need for engrossing myself in art has never left me. I love the detail work of both the postage stamp art and the chainmaille work as I am able to completely get lost in it for hours upon hours. My kind of thing.
Sewing and painting the tea towels have been a wonderful change of pace for me and enables me to rest my hands from the repetitive work of chainmaille and cutting stamps. Cutting stamps is fine for the first few hundred, but after a thousand my hand will cramp.
I absolutely love getting into new inspirations and new mediums and I look forward to whatever comes next for me. As I do it I will post it on my blog!
Thanks for looking!
