An Artiste, Am I

I don't profess to be the next trendsetter in Altered Art or Rescued Jewelry Creations but I do make and sell quite a few things month to month in a little store downtown called Margie Pepper's. I love this place. I love it a lot. I love it so much, most of my paycheck from the art I sell goes right back into my friend, Michelle's, hand the second I get it. She owns the place and gave me my start in selling art. I had been selling on eBay but there is something so surreal about knowing at any given moment I could walk into someone's home or pass someone on the street and they could be displaying a piece of my art or jewelry that they paid good money for. I have taken a few pictures of some of my creations for your enjoyment. See something you're interested in, not that I meant for this to be a sales blog, but still...let me know.
