Mysteriously Drawn to RELICS & ARTIFACTS

While in Anaheim during the Craft & Hobby Association show I was so surprised by a woman who told me she was Mysteriously Drawn to my RELICS & ARTIFACTS Craft Blank Collection ( Prima Marketing Flowers ) She said she wasn't really into antiques but that one of the sweet cherub faces reminded her of something her grandmother had on her dresser top when she was a child... That the piece brought back a long ago, forgotten memory that had been lost to her until this moment!! And then she proceeded to buy the entire collection to carry in her shop! I can't even begin to tell you how happy it makes me knowing that these pieces (I've collected and love so much) are touching people in such unexpected ways!

Throwback Thursday

Ok, so I thought for Throwback Thursdays I'd share a few personal, professional, pleasant memories... 
On the set of Wayne's World 2 in costume. (and yes I know... before you say it, scandalous wardrobe, but hey, thats what the costume designer put on me!) smile emoticon 
Mike Myers and Dana Carvey are just as wonderful as you hope they'd be, sweet kind and caring people. Heather Locklear is as beautiful in person as she is on screen. A funny thing I remember about Christopher Walken is that he walked around the set with a half eaten apple in his jacket pocket, he would take it out, eat a bite, tape a scene and put it back into his pocket. Joe Perry is dreamy and such a gentleman. And as for my friend Steven Tyler... well, I never kiss and tell! Lets just say we had a great time together and it was fun while it lasted... C'est la Vie!!!!

Thank You!!!!

Back Home Again, CHA and Holy Smokes!!
Well I took the red eye back to Austin, arrived home a 2:00 am, slept all day and woke up feeling like this has all been one HUGE dream!! I want to thank the wonderful Prima Marketing Flowers team for being so welcoming and supportive and really making me feel like family! "Happy Birthday to Me!!" wink emoticonha ha ha.. and I want to thank all of you my Friends for being so enthusiastic about my new RELICS & ARTIFACTS craft blanks collection and leaving such nice comments and sharing with others!!!

RELICS & ARTIFACTS!! 
Ok, So here goes… holding my breath and typing with shaking hands. Introducing my RELICS & ARTIFACTS craft blank collection!!! I've teamed up with the wonderful people at Prima Marketing Flowers to bring you this versatile line of ornaments that is made of resin with a matte finish, strong, durable, takes any medium like a dream and are easy and fun to adorn! The idea for this collection came to me two and a half years ago. It stems from my nearly obsessive impulse to collect. I've been a gatherer all my life. I have several curiosity cabinets with shelves full of unusual antique oddments of all sorts, lying next to each other side by side, broken statuary fragments, found feathers, ornate Spanish ex votos, 18th century French military medals, mineral specimens & ancient fossils, sacred Italian milagros, Roman intaglios, finely carved cameos and the list goes on… treasures I've collected from every corner of the earth and even some lost pirates bounty recovered from the ocean depths like the Caravaca double cross which came from a long ago sunken vessel in Spain. I derive inspiration from a habit I have of rearranging these pieces into different groupings and vignettes, adding new objects as I discover them. This creative ritual is where the idea originated for these craft blank designs. Handcrafted molds are taken directly from my rare antique originals then castings are created and refined into these classic and timeless curated arrangements ready to be re-imagined in any number of unique and beautiful ways. Just embellish and decorate with your favorite medium… painting, stamping, decoupage, glitters, rhinestones, pastel chalks, stains, anything you can dream up can be applied to these craft blanks to create your own museum worthy collection! I want to inspire the home craft artisan to create uncommonly wonderful and dramatic things to decorate their homes and lives. Take your crafting to the next level, ignite your imagination and elevate your art by starting with exquisite Relics & Artifacts! These pieces will become trusted staples in your craft library, pieces you will go to again and again to recreate in an endless variety of ways, the combinations and rearrangement options are limitless, so fabulous you'll want to collect them all! Thank you to Prima for sharing my vision! I'll be in Anaheim at the Prima booth for the Craft & Hobby Association convention tomorrow through the 13th to launch the line, if you are at the show please come by and say Hello, I'd love to meet you! Feel free to share this with your friends to help get the word out! You can also check out the collection on Prima's blog: http://prima.typepad.com/…/introducing-relics-artifacts.html
