Useful And Fun Crafts

My focus is on using bits and pieces of mixed media and colors to create interesting, attractive and useful craft mosaic designs. I love to take a clay pot and make a mosaic planter for my garden or take a plain glass candle shelter and turn it into a colorful accent for the fireplace mantle. I am of the want-it-now generation of crafters and I like to have several projects going at once so that when I finish one I can move on to the next craft project.

I find potential craft projects at craft stores, thrift shops, garage sales, swap meets and my own attic, anywhere I can pick up something economically (ok, cheap) and make it over by adding colorful mosaic tile or glass. Hopefully you will agree that the everyday items that I started with ended up looking like something you might spend your hard-earned money on at a craft gallery. If you are a do it yourself crafter, you won't need to spend much. Abe Lincoln once said "Chop your own wood, it will warm you twice." He was so right!
