I make what I like, jewelry, mixed media art, ceramic art and digital art!
Interests: I am a goldsmith and make jewelry from metal - my favorite is silver - and I also sculpt from precious metal clay. I started out as a potter, making bowls, teapots and round boxes. With the growth of the internet, I got interested in the computer and Photoshop and added on bookmaking and journals and mixed media art. I learned to knit for fun. I have a huge rubber stamp collection. I'm also interested in polaroid photography, image manipulation and transfers. I've got a series of polaroid cameras, lomography cameras, and have taken thousands of digital photos. I like to make ATC's and artist stamps too and have been learning mixed media painting and collage techniques for about 7 years. I am having so much fun! . . . And now it's 2011 and I am still at it!

Sometimes the visibility IS worth it. You have to decide on a case by case basis. If I publish I have already decided that my great idea is being sent out into the world and it's no longer mine to hoard. I say choose wisely but do it. It can be worth the expense. Not sending the idea out can mean you are afraid that your good idea will be lost to you and that there's a shortage of good ideas. I think there are enough good ideas to go around and that the attitude that your best idea is still ahead of you, rather than behind you is freeing and a sign of an open mind. It takes trust in yourself. Catherine Witherell www.happydayart.typepad.com

It's so pretty and soft and the shapes are nice and balanced. It looks like old material that has been used and broken in. Makes me think it's very soft and I'd like to touch it.

Ooops! I meant that message for lostaussie! It's such a beautiful image but I made a mistake and thought this was her blog.
It does! Pretty soon I hope everyone comes to give YOU a smooch. I want to be the first one. X Catherine
