Hello everybody,  I just join your group this morning. Thanks so much for letting me join.   I am living in Tennessee but was born and raised in Michigan.

I am a multi-medium artist.  Scrollsawing is my newest interest so I am still learning.  I love working with wood and seeing all the wonder creations people make.

I also do stained glass, mosaic, woodburning,GOG, make jewerly, re-purpose other peoples throw aways aka yard art.  I make cement stepping stones and love making windchimes.

I don't do craft shows as I never have enought items done up to make up a profitable booth and I am (truth be told) just too lazy.....lol

I find a lot of my wood on freecycle, along the curb or dumpster diving. You would be amazed what people throw away.  If someone is building a house I have no qualms asking for the scrap pieces of wood.

I love doing swaps for the various holidays.
We just recently completed my workshop after waiting 5 years to get it done.............Sigh!  I still keep the scrollsaw in the garage (sawdust) but everything else is done in the shop.

I am not a pattern maker (wouldn't even know where to begin).

Welcome. We are also multi-artists as our projects mostly need some finish ;D

Thanks everyone for the warm welcomes.  I see we have scrollers from all over the world.  How Wonderful is that.  I love seeing different visions.  Will track down some pictures of some of my ornaments I have scrolled, some painted some not.  Also a few of my woodburnings.  Did several of Steve's Name ornaments last christmas, and they were a big hit.  have already ordered more this year so I have some cutting to do before christmas.

Wish I had signed up before you did your christmas ornament swap..Sigh!
