Oh my. I have a blog.... Hah! Ok, focus Melissa.
I come from a long line of artists. My grandmother did beautiful watercolor portraits. My dad is a successful cartoonist who works for Jim Davis - the creator of Garfield - and animates much of what you see at www.garfield.com (go check it out!). My mom is a "visionary" and makes some wonderful and creative scrapbooks, has beautiful gardens, is a talented photographer, and can decorate a home beautifully.
My brother is talented in just about any type of 3-D art and has become a wonderful glass artist. He creates some of the most beautiful hand blown glass I have ever seen. Here is one of his pieces:
Unfortunately very little of that talent was passed to me. I have always been creative, so here I am, channeling my creativity! I have always loved to create "something out of nothing," and love to scour thrift stores and see what treasures I can make from other peoples' junk.
And then came Pinterest! All of a sudden there were millions upon millions of ideas at my fingertips. To say I was greatly inspired would be an understatement. After pinning gazillions of these ideas and inspirations, I finally decided to start creating... and I haven't stopped! Now I'd like to try to inspire others as I have been inspired. Having one-of-a-kind items in your home, created by YOU, is such an amazing feeling. I hope to inspire you and I hope that I can be inspired by you too!
