I have had some of my best ideas come to me at night through my dreams. And over the years my interests in arts and crafts have varied. My dreams and interests have led me on many paths. The one dream I've had is to "open a store" and display all the items I have created. One of my interests is painting, a natural talent given to me by the greatest creator of all "God". I have painted my things and I finally found the medium I like best - Deer antler pieces! Learning to create stained glass items was another passion. So in 2001 I took classes. I enjoyed creating new items and began designing my own patterns of animals. And as you will see - the ideas have kept on flowing! I have always been drawn to items of the Southwest. My home is decorated with many Southwest items. I began to research the Native American art and beliefs. Their totems caught my eye. After more research, I chose glass bevels and engraved the different totems. Each piece is embellished with leather, beads, and feathers. Wood working has been a part of my interests. The smell and feel of exotic woods is exciting. I was given some purple heart wood . My ideas started popping, and soon my purple heart creations came to life! My ideas keep appearing --- So check back once in a while for some more of my "Dream Creations". I have only been selling on eBay a short while, and I am looking forward to sharing my creations with you. Thank you and God bless, Shirley
