The Table of Life
Our place at the table, our moments together,
Even our time on this plot,
Can be fleeting,my friends,
So it's worth celebrating
Every second we've got.
"Home Tweet Home" with RELICS & ARTIFACTS® AMBASSADOR Monica Downing
Straight out of the gate, I gotta tell ya, this project is one of my favorites. Not only was it one of the easiest projects I’ve done, but I just love how it turned out. I love birdies and butterflies and faeries and dragonflies. Seeing my art, that is not hard to figure out.
Read moreThe Girl With The Golden Eyes, with Ambassador Milagros C Rivera
A long time ago three sisters were born in the castle. You could tell them apart from the crowd because they shined. Dressed in the purest gold and silver threads, intricately embroidered by their skilled hands. They all had a golden sun emblazoned in their skirts, a symbol of their kingdom..........

Jessie sat on the front steps of the church, clutching a squirmy little bundle of life tightly to her chest. Her little bundle of life which she gave birth to not more than 24 hours ago, in a cardboard box hovel she called home. Jessie sat and gazed out into the dark night sky. There were no stars glimmering. It was a pitch black night sky.

Read moreCameo Necklace with RELICS & ARTIFACTS® Ambassador Chrissy Colón
For some time now, I have been wanting to try my hand at crafting some jewelry. And I'm not talking the half-hearted attempt at a piece which will inevitably be handed down to my daughters because I just won't wear it. I'm talking about a full blown, "big girl", all adult-like piece that I would definitely wear.
Read moreThe Twenty Four Hour Project by Ambassador Milagros C Rivera
Experiments fascinate me. The thrill of going into uncharted territory and not knowing the outcome may frighten a lot of people but to me it's a "dive right in" kind of thing. One thing does take me out of my comfort zone and that little thing is called Patience.
Read more"Brave and the Personal Meaning of A Song" with RELICS & ARTIFACTS® Ambassador Monica Downing
I remember the first time I heard the song that inspired me to make this piece, "How Big Is Your Brave?" by Sara Bareilles. The words just spoke to me and got under my skin and all I could think was, "YES! This is so uplifting and amazing."

I recently read the book “Big Magic” by Elizabeth Gilbert and she has a chapter called “Scary Scary Scary” in which, no joke, I thought she was talking directly to me because I'm afraid of EVERYTHING!
Read more"The Philosopher" with RELICS & ARTIFACTS® Ambassador Chrissy Colón
I have always considered myself to be a student. Whether I found myself sitting in a classroom somewhere in academia, ninety feet under the sea, sitting at my art table, or just taking in my surroundings and learning about another culture, I am always learning

I love the ocean, the sound of the waves, the fresh ocean air, the feel of the sand between my toes, walking along the beach just hoping to find a beautiful shell or maybe some sea glass.

Read moreLarge Impact in Small Spaces with RELICS & ARTIFACTS® Mixed Media Guru John Creighton Petersen
Much of my featured work has been on a larger scale, generally canvases and other pieces that are 8 x 10 inches and larger. With the latest RELICS & ARTIFACTS® release, I took a different approach and began experimenting with working on a smaller scale which has made me discover so many new possibilities of creating with the Relics line!

Read moreDon't Overthink with Ambassador Milagros C Rivera
Don't Overthink! Whenever you're creating that's a good mantra! How many times have you gone over the top to regret it because you were overthinking? Or how many times did you not dare take a chance because you just thought it too much?

You know what I am a super fan of? High impact with simplistic construction. I am always drawn to things that appear to be overly complicated to assemble but in reality, there really isn't much to them, especially if I'm feeling a need to jumpstart my creative magic.
