Artists! Why do we have a need to create and constantly challenge ourselves with new ideas? Big ideas, little ideas, ideas just for the fun of crafting and creating and other to actually earn money and make enough to buy a new pair of strappy sandals, just in time for spring! hehe

Tuesday, I had a the privilege of hosting a "craft" day with local Ann Arbor artist, Kate Kehoe. http://www.chicalookate.etsy.com/ Kate and I did a machine swap and I used her 3.5" compact mirror maker and in exchange, she used my 3" x 2" rectangle magnet maker for some of her wonderful photo designs.

What a fun afternoon! Besides sharing machines we also shared techniques, etsy tips and thoughts for the upcoming craft show circuit. I will be featuring some of the compact mirrors I created on my etsy page so check them out! http://www.mindseyecards.etsy.com/

A huge thank you to my assistant, Natasha Keasey, for being my model in several photos!
