Another quick image from my iphone (hence the graininess). . . . Whew! It’s been a busy month.  Atlanta’s National Black Arts Festival is just around the corner. I am printing my last batch of cards and stuffing and dressing the last few dolls.  I actually have thirty five dolls in various stages of completion.  [...]

I took this photo with my iphone so it’s a bit grainy. Okay, I will spare you the “I can’t believe that it is June already!” comments.  Yes, I think we are all surprised to look up and see that we are already half way through the year.  For those of you who follow this [...]

I love that I get to make and share art. What a blessing!  Over the last few weeks I have had the opportunity to travel to share with artists and designers from all over the United States.  I was truly inspired by their creativity and generosity of spirit.  I came home a  bit tired but [...]

If you listen carefully you can probably hear the hum of the sewing machine, the zip of the rotary cutter or the quiet swishing of paintbrushes in the studio.  Yes, little elves (or in my case a 5’10″ elf) are busy making creations for the holiday season and beyond.  What a blast to play with [...]

I am so grateful and so excited.  Special thanks to fabulous web designer Kris Richards at VozVisual for giving me the new look and feel for my business. Also his wife Akilah Richards is very [...]
