i heart Jim Houser's work.

A Day In The Studio of Jim Houser from Art In The Age on Vimeo.


Wow...his work is brilliant, and i LOVE this video of him working. It's very interesting!

Ohhhh these Crafty Folk!!

When i saw these fun stickers by CraftyFolk i was hooked and had to see what other goodies this lovely artist had.


My goodness, I am so intrigued by Sarah from CraftyFolk. Her drawings are simply adorable and i love how she has made her drawings into wood pendants. Brilliant!


Make sure you visit her website and blog too, and go see what other goodies are on her etsy page. You won't be disappointed! :p

New Pretties...

I've been sick on and off for two weeks now...

Aside from it being a big pain in my rear, and missing work, it's been an ultimate blessing too. I don't think i've let myself rest this much..ever.

I've watched a lot of "Greek" and "Parenthood" and have even been creative here and there. :p



i REALLY like how this set came out. I was cleaning my studio a bit because i was restless, and laid my eyes on these resin pieces and BOOM i had an idea, so i ran to my floor in my room and created it.

It was the COOLEST feeling. i LOVE creative rushes. :)


Simple, delightful, and happy. Just the way i like my "nightly doodles".

And last but not least, a new series i'm working on. Huzzah!

I hope y'all are having a relaxing, sick free, creative weekend!

Smiles and Blessings to you!

Clay Bodies and Beyond!!

Hello friends! I hope you're having a creative day!!


My very talented friend Rachel made this SUPER AWESOME piece ^^. Isn't it stellar!! I've known her for a year or two now and she invited me over to teach me the basics of clay.





For most of these we used clay molds [she's never used them so we both wanted to try] and pretty much jammed the clay into the molds and then created pieces for jewelry with them. There's a fancier, more efficient way to use molds, but since we were mostly just messing around, this is the way we "played".


I am really excited to show you some of the stellar creations i'm going to make with these gems. YAY! Next we have to bisque them, and then glaze them. So TBC folks!! :p

Thank you Rachel! Can't wait to hang out again soon!

Smiles and Blessings to YOU my friends!

One Year Ago Today...

We ate like Queens! I got a veggie and tofu platter and Mandy got some meats and veggies.



AND THEN.....

I hope you had a delicious food filled day!
Smiles and Blessings to YOU!

One Year Ago Today...



One Year Ago today...

* My heart was hurting in places i didn't know existed.
* I was in South Florida taking a two week "life" vacation.
* I was confused to the max about what my future was going to look like.
* I was angry and hopeful about the plans God had for my life.

But more importantly one year ago today,



* My mom bought me a pedicure. Which made my toe-seys look beautiful!!



* I ate a delicious salmon salad at a German restaurant.

And...

* I got to spend a glorious day in Miami with my best friend and THESE delicious cupcakes.



It's amazing how many good things come on bad days. And how WONDERFUL a year can make you feel. I am so blessed. :D

I hope even through the bad, you can see the silver lining in your life!!

Smiles and Blessings to you my friends,

Jenipher :)
