Illusion or reality? Or interesting perspective?

Another Brimfield photo that caught my attention! I imagine waiting for the audience to arrive.

Ever since I can remember, I've always wanted to be an artist. I was envious of my friend, Toni, and her watercolors; David and the photo's he created and then his stained glass; my friend, Deb, who has made her life's work her art. I love to go to craft and art shows to see what 'artists' do, always envious of the talent, ability and time to create.

All of my life, I've enjoyed wtiting, photography, scrapbooking and creating things. I'm quite handy with a sewing machine and can make a pattern for nearly anything ~ like my couch covers that can easily be removed with no zippers, buttons or fasteners. I've made Hallowieen costumes for my daughter, knit sweaters, spun & dyed my own wool, made clothes for myself and my daughter and have even made curtains for the windows in my house. I know how to crochet, weave and knit and even make wine simply because it interests me and I love the process of creating.

This last year, once finished a book and holding something tangible in my hands, I've decided to go for it and declare my artistic self. Reading the last few issues of Artful Blogging, I feel encouraged even more to go for it and pursue my artistic expression.

So any of you in cyberspace who come across my blog will be the first to observe and witness my unfolding self as an artist!

You will get to be withness to my photographs and my learning to use Photoshop. My entries may not be daily as I do have my day job and business to keep doing to pay the bills. Any feedback, encouragement or kind words are most welcomed!
