Living a creative life

In my house,I have a personal work table for my creative projects. The upside of being a grown up is I get to decide when to clean up! I I have scrap materials, rubber stamps, newspaper clippings and photographs that inspire me. Beauty is creative. Most people just get to see the finished product. What is really compelling for me is the story behind an object, the human experience behind it.

The photo on the left is one of my visual journals. I found this journal with Andy Warhol graphics on the cover and inside pages at a discount book store.
                                            

ABOVE:"Bedazzled" glass vase- I used extra colored glass beads to decorate the green glass.

PHOTO ON RIGHT: I have this box of tiny stamps which I use to make cards and embellish paper. Talavera tiles serve as inspiration and coasters at the same time.
