I came, I saw, I created. The good Lord gave me the wonderful ability to see and have a need to create the beautiful and not-so-beautiful in the world around me. Most of the time I was self taught. After my marrage and children up to go to school I returned for my own higher education. After collage I began teaching Art in all 12 grades in public school. In brief, my husband in the U.S.A.F. we moved often, giving me so many wonderful opertunities. Not only to paint, but to see people and places both here and overseas. Our two girls and two boys have blessed and continue to bless us constantly. They number 4 children, 10 grandchildren and 7 greatgrand children. These albums will be some of my artistic efforts in my different fields. Some of those are oil painting; charcoal, pencil and pastel sketching; skulpting; lapadary (cutting and polishing stones); ceramics (hand built and poured) both stoneware and porcelan; stained glass leading; silver smithing; beading; Painting on leather and velvet. Too much more to put down. I have so many interests, crochet, quilting, sewing,embrodery, reading, fiction writing and writing poetry, history, archiology, geneology, knitting,tatting, rockhounding, etc.,etc. See what I mean about God blessing. Enjoy my joy as you view some of my things I had a thought to save photo's of. Let me hear from you,please. Carla...OK,U.S.A.
