It's that time where we get to sit back and enjoy what our Relics & Artifacts® Tribe has to offer! This month, be prepared to be blown away by the magic that is Kim Collister. To say that Kim works some major mojo is an understatement. It's such an understatement, that we had to ask her to be this month's Guest Ambassador. Sit back, grab a cup of coffee and enjoy!

Read moreIt's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year...
That song positevely makes me happy, it's one of my faves every coming Christmas. I love making ornaments, decorating my home, and baking. I think my theme this year is trending towards gold Dresden, a definite fetish there as in my eyes Dresdens dress elegantly anything it touches! I also like the fact that just by looking at them I can find unusual shapes or uses for them!

Some of us may not claim to be Artists, but when we have the tools, materials and a spark of inspiration we can, for that moment, become Artists.
Read more"Fall Faery" with RELICS & ARTIFACTS® Ambassador Monica Downing
The cooling breezes of fall would soon turn into colder, whiter, frost filled breezes. This little fall faerie knows she must fly to join the others and is preparing for her first flight.
She is putting her faith in her glitter covered wings, closing her eyes, and saying a little prayer before she takes offto join the other faeries in warmer places. .

Read more"Icy Ostensorium" RELICS & ARTIFACTS® Feature with Susan Harkness-Williams
Aren’t ostensoriums a deliriously delicious source of inspiration? About 10 years ago I took a poseable doll making class with a sculpted head. A chill was in the air and I got the idea to make “Ice King”. I was really into thinking about what an ice king would look like; what would he wear?
Read more"My Muse" with RELICS & ARTIFACTS® Ambassador Sherry Matthews
" I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too.
Read more"Special Delivery" with RELICS & ARTIFACT® Ambassador Monica Downing
All I could think when I saw this vintage post office box door at a local antique store was, “WOW! I HAVE TO HAVE IT!” and have it I did. As a matter of fact I bought two of the three they had in stock. I knew right away that I wanted to use this for a journal or mini album cover and I’m so excited to share this project with you.

Dream big! That's the premise behind my Finch turned Red Crowned Crane. She looks in the mirror every single day and does not see a tiny, meek bird.
Read more"Deviled Egg" with RELICS & ARTIFACTS® Ambassador Sherry Matthews
I'd love to say that there is always a deeper meaning to my art, a hidden message, a commentary on our society as a whole, or a revolutionary idea behind it. There IS a piece of me in all my work. Sometimes, my art can hold a poetic imprint or a therapeutic energy. Other times, I create simply because I love to make art. I love being creative. Period.
Read more"Not All Who Wander Are Lost" with RELICS & ARTIFACTS® Ambassador Cat Kerr
This piece was created in about two days (on and off), which is really fast for me because it takes me forever to come up with something I like. I see so many other artists that create at lightning speed, but not me. I'm like a snail, a “take my time, only if it feels right” snail. I used to wish I could create faster but whenever I attempted it, I ended up not liking the results.
