The Things I Create.

I like to change things to make them better. I like to go in to a thrift store and and find something average and turn into something beautiful. I get this gift from my Mother: to see what something can be and not what it is.



These are just wooden blocks that I collaged with mostly covers from CD albums.

This is my dresser. My mom is the one who found it and then painted black. I think she also mde the mirror so that it looked old and used.

This is not a vase, this is actually of a light cover that I turned upside down and put some beautiful peonies in it.

These are champain glasses that I plan to make a center piece for a dining room table. But right now they are just filled with tea light candles and white rocks that I found on a Maryland beach. I am sure the security people at the airport thought I was crazy because I had a purse full of rocks.

This lamp had the worst shade on it...it was like off-white fuzzy fabric...very strange. Therefore I took about 1" plaid ribbon and rapped the the shad. This took a very long time...like most of the things I do.

This is just radom things that are on my nightstand.

This is a drawing that I didn't like that much that I had to do for one of my classes. I had to take a object and do only hard lines and no shading. Those are actually sea shells.

This is a lampshade that only had the firm form. I rapped the wire with light ribbon...but you can't really see it in this picture. I usually use it to hang my jewlery but recently I have been just hanging my scarves.
