I am a strong believer in the beauty of everyday life. For me, art is the little things that make you stop and think and take life a little beyond the ordinary.
This is a blog to record art: made, photographed, exhibited, found on the side of the road, etc. I hope to share the world as I see it, and eventually to accept submissions from readers. I want to know, what do you think is beautiful? If we get a community sharing the unique things we all notice and appreciate--something others might overlook--who knows the possibilities! I hope we will be able to walk outside and see the world in a new light, question something we've never thought about, and see beauty where before there was none.
This blog is also a platform to promote my new Etsy site, bricandbrac.etsy.com. After 10+ years of making jewelry for family, friends, and myself, I have decided to take a chance and bring my crafting to the internet. Jewelry is wearable art, after all, and I love the challenge of taking unique materials and making something functional and beautiful out of them.
Art is not a single, untouchable entity. It is interwoven with life. It is the utilitarian and the decorative, what we see and what we create, and the bric and brac in between.
