Between chasing around after my older brother and sisters and constantly being told to go home !

I can and do draw in different styles all the time,I find it paids to be open to this so your work
appeals to more people.
like wise I love drawing,painting but also have had I go at every craft out there!
and can make textile items, jewelery.

Handmade items are often unique! one never the same as the other!
plus each item have been made with love by a craftsman getting pleasure creating each & every single item.
