Some of my Creative Journals

Here are some of the journals I have worked on over the past 20 years. My dream journal is not here because I forgot it at the side of my bed. I use magazine pictures I like to create collage journals.

Drafting a Pattern

Here I am with the finished giraffe and a page of the pattern in front of me at my drafting table. It takes a lot of hours to go from an idea to a finished pattern, ready to sell. Some designs have to go through several changes before they pass the test and I decide I'm ready to take the pattern to the drafting table.

Some of my own stuffed animal designs are shown here. I sell sewing patterns for these animals. My cat had to get into the picture and it made me laugh!

About Me

FantasyCreations1: I've always been an artist and I have wanted to be a writer since 5th grade. I earned a MA in teaching English and I was a high school English teacher until... well, that's another story. Now I create beautiful things and sell them on the internet. I have been an ebay store owner foe three years and I earned over 1050 positive feedbacks from super fast shipping and honesty. I'm goint to leave ebay now because of a number of unfriendly changes and an increase in fees. I have a new store on ETSY. I love to come up with new ideas and I'm never idle. My hands are always creating something new. Sometime I teach crafts classes in Portland. I love to teach people of all ages to be creative with polymer clay. I think creativity has helped me to cope with the challenges life has brought me.
