My Bountiful Ideas
Since our kids have all grown and left to start their own lives, I have found myself trying to redefine my purpose. I must admit that Bob and I are having a great time with this new journey. I have narrowed down my passions to cooking and creating. Cooking is simple. The creating is complicated. Creating includes sewing, art projects, upcycling, and writing. Now my next goal will be to find the time to do it all!

Dracula Book Sculpture
DRACULA - For all my blood-thirsty followers here is another book sculpture of Dracula. I had so many special requests lately that it has been hard to stock my shop. Finally, I was able to complete one for the shop. Hopefully I will be able to complete three more book sculptures by next Wednesday.
Doing this one, has put me in the mood for full-moon, foggy nights with bat filled skies. Halloween is right around the corner. After that, things get a little hectic. I think I will make the time to enjoy the beautiful fall weather. Maybe I’ll set up a cutting table outside and try sculpting in the woods.

Goblins Ate My Book...Again
Goblins Ate My Book...AGAIN!
Just finished my newest Book Sculpture: Goblins Ate My Book...AGAIN! I did something different with this one. I made the illustrations more interactive with the book pages by having the little devils actually eating and tearing the pages. Major fun!

Guliver's Travels
Gulliver's Travels
I tried something different with this sculpture. Since the front cover of this late 1800s book is so ornate, I decided not to hide it. I can't believe how well, my sculptures have been selling lately. I can't seem to keep a good stock in my shop. At this time, I am working on Goblins Ate My Book II, Hobbit, LOTR, Peter Pan, Dracula, and more. Hopefully I can get a new book listed every other day or so.
