I'm a Hodgkin's lymphoma and bone marrow transplant survivor since August of 2000. It has definitely made me cherish each day and evolve into a stronger individual. I enjoy all forms and mediums of art and craft. My husband and I along with our two grown boys have lived in rural New England all of our lives and enjoy the four seasons and what they bring. Priscilla's Interests Introduce Yourself: Silla in Maine :o) Live near Bangor with my husband and 2 little humans in fur coats (my cats)! Oh yah, and lots of snow!

What I'm going to make...How I'm going to make it...When I'm going to make it...and What I'm already working on...How I'm going to finish it. Like giant wooden fish, wood burned pictures, tiles that are hand carved with design, necklaces that are put together with some of my handmade beads, artist trading cards made with watercolors on cool paper, clay brooches, sculpture and miniatures, altered books full of paintings and collage, acrylic paintings, fabric and textile art completed with embroidery. It's always fun and freeing to work on a new project or an ongoing one. Art has been my greatest therapy.   PHOTOGRAPHY My latest passion is photography. Macro, texture, and architecture themes are becoming my favorites.

If you're friends with Andie, that's a good enough recommendation. You've got some really nice work. Looking forward to seeing more. Sharon Posted by: cre8tivearts 2008-02-01     Hey....I figured it out all by myself! :o) (How to be your friend) I guess, I did it? Yes, Andie sure enough is my friend as well. She is a sweetheart, I really like her. I see you're going to trade with her, ATC's I assume. Don't forget to include me.
