I recently have had a lot of time on my hands and very little time on my feet. I had my large left toe joint replaced. The first week I found myself a permanent fixture in my bed watching TV. reading, and on the computer far more than I care to be. The second week I was able to get up a bit more, so I would go to the studio and sit and work on projects.  I find myself returning to making many of my gifts by hand as well as the cards that attach them. The most recent gift was a present for a baby shower I was attending. It was for a baby girl who already had been named Lola. I started creating this masterpiece with materials that were easy for me to use and close at hand; markers, paper, scissors, and glue. I created what I call my “Word-art Name-sake Paper-cuts.” I created the designs in marker, cut them out, pasted them down, and embellished them with gold leaf or silver leaf pen as well as background designs.

 I have been utilizing many supplies that I already posses which is helping me to increase sales profitability in difficult times as well as continue to create fun and exciting new pieces. I have always loved creating crafts as well as my fine art. Right now with the economy I have developed a creative fun new way to reach out to new mommies, their parents & / or grandparents and others by creating these Word-art images which are appealing works that are affordable.

Since the baby shower where the present was well received I have received several commissions for other Word-art pieces. I have posted a few on line under my
