i love to crochet! i have a 1-yr-old daughter, and i sing everything i say. actually i love crafts of many kinds, but currently i'm addicted to crocheting. i live in the woods in a hippie community at a hot springs retreat. life is beautiful! peace!
my goal in being an artist is to use natural and/or recycled materials as much as possible. ie: when i make journals, i use discarded papers, reclaimed fabric, and cardboard from used boxes; corkboards from used winecorks, yarn scraps and skeins from second-hand stores or yard sales or 100% cotton or wool (or someday i hope to try out the new bamboo and soy yarns!). there is just way too much material already out there for me to justify buying everything new.
