Hello everyone, My name is Danyelle Ortega-Roberts and I am an at home artist, I have created many things from Dia de los Muertos shrines to jewelry and greeting cards, I even paint and carve toothpicks. I was born and raised in Ca. where I live with my family. I have two beautiful children and a Dragon Slayer for a husband! I am a profoundly lucky woman. I get most of my inspiration from people or events as they come, but mostly my style and themes since childhood have revolved around skeletal, compliment /contrast imagery....oh and I love Craftstylish.com!! Thanks

Re: Painted Shoes 4

Gosh, Thank you so much! RachelPhilips you are so intuitive, my daughter and I are very close, (in age as well as affection)and we have been through a lot together. I am so proud of her. She is getting older now and I feel the child slowly making way for the woman in her. I think there is a bit of that reflected in these shoe as well...
