Who are you?

Worry about yourself!

I am the plaid wearing cowgirl with a country twang

I am the goth girl with black nails, torn leggings and skulls on everything

I am the quiet introvert who wants to be alone to read

I am the gamer girl who will whip your ass in MRPGs

I am the tree hugger who wants to save the planet and lectures you on recycling

I am the daddy’s girl, mama’s baby, and my grandparents’ lil angel

I am the one who broke the mold, doesn’t fit in with your plans and makes you think twice

Stop trying to label me because I can be any and all of these depending on my mood

I am a girl, I am a woman, I am a goddess

Worry about yourself

New Work, Textile Collage art

Lately I have been rediscovering old skills.  I started embroidery again, which I haven't used since I was little.  On Etsy you can find my new collages.  I use reclaimed textiles, vintage and antique lace, trims, beads and buttons.  I even used a few old quilt tops.  I added embroidered pieces to many of them.  Take a look.

I have also begun to turn several of my sketches and paintings into embroidery patterns.  You can find the first of these on Etsy.  The Rose from my blue/green embroidered rose above is in the store now as a pattern.  All of these collages are in my Etsy store as well.
Hugs*  Christy
