I have a belief that art is as essential to life as food, water, air, and blood. I believe that art doesn't only belong in a frame on a museum wall. Art does not have to be understood. Art is an expression, an emotion. Art is a vitamin. Art is useful. Art is what you say it is. Art should be excessible. Art is everywhere.

art, like bread, is for everyone.
Just a quick contact paper decal that I whipped up myself. I got the idea from Threadbanger.com's "Decor It Yourself"
Precursor to the Julie Cuff. Julie Cuff to come soon!!
Just wanted to show off a quick bracelet I did from the Stitch 'N Bitch Crochet: The Happy Hooker book. It's modified from the Garden Scarf pattern by Michelle Ameron.

You wouldn't think I would have much use for these in Mexico, yet in the mornings I meet a group of little popsicles in my classroom. It can be down to almost freezing and we don't have heat indoors! (Of course, it warms to about 80 by the afternoon...)
