Me and my son, Micah.
My name is Krista. I was born on a dark and stormy night. Because of this I have always been sort of a serious character. Now that my four gorgeous, intelligent children are busy with school all day, I have decided to have a second childhood, and spend lots of my time cutting things out with scissors. I am a free-lance artist and designer of ridiculous pretty things. I love altered art collage/assemblage work. My artistic style consists of taking things that are mostly useless and making them more than the sum of their parts. I love upcycling vintage books and odds and ends. Lately I have been having a lot of fun making things out of old wool sweaters that I felt and then sew into useful things like handbags and baby shoes. More often than not though, I make things with absolutely no use, like felt food. My partner in crime Shelly and I hold court at a local farmers market, where we flog our wares. My brilliant daughter, Mallory has been helping me make a website to showcase some of my work, which will eventually be at this link here. Soon, I will be adding collage pages that are fun to use with your altered art or scrapbooking.
You can see my contributions to the One of a Kind Gifts blog here. Feel free to email me with your questions, or other feedback.
