Claire Perry Art - Awesome "Upcycled" Folk Art







I want to introduce a wonderful fun folk artist to you all! Claire Perry Art - she makes the coolest folk art fish from found and recycled materials from the coastline of Maine. She is a true "Upcycle Artist". I have three of her fish above a doorway in my kitchen. They always make me smile. They are a great conversation pieces, family and guest love them. They are infectious with humor and wit. I have been blessed to befriend Claire and find her to be just as much fun as her fish! Please visit her site at http://www.claireperryart.com/ and support the arts! Enjoy

An Incredible and Magical Tale


Just finished an incredible book. The 13th Tale by Diane Setterfield is a wonderful Goth-like mystery. I was so moved and enchanted by the story. The characters and scenery is so inspiring for my work. I love to be transported by magical literature.
