Jennifer, I used to paint. I loved water color. I was pretty good, but then life, job, and kids took all my energy. I even taught art in elementary school for a while. I loved doing that!
I also enjoyed calligraphy. I use past tense because my hands tremble from the anti rejection meds that I need due to my organ transplant.

So I am giving my attention to fabric and needle work. I have a need for control and I like patterns. Here is a thread and bead project (green)that I created. And one from a pattern.
