Introducing...

I thought I'd say a quick hello and introduce myself to all of you. I am Gardenofevils, Auntie Ball, Sammy, Samantha or Sam depending on who is in the room at the time. Gardenofevils is my online name. Adoxograph and I met through that guy she lives with on Livejournal. Sarcasmo and I have been friends for about 5 years now, and little did he know that Kathy and I would become close friends too. So in a roundabout way, that is how I got be apart of this fine blog.

I am not the crafty type, or so I think. I went to school for theatre and ended up doing design work. I designed sound for shows, some lighting, and even a set. Most of my crafty ideas are born in my head and never make it out. I have stenciled in the past but more propaganda art rather than the flower stencils you see in a craft store. I've tried knitting but the results were apocalyptic. I just can't make art with my hands, but on occasion I do try.

I have nine small frames that are currently taking up occupancy in my hall closet. The idea was to stain them three different colors and hang them above my fireplace. Well, I've hand them for about six months now, and it doesn't look like I'll be staining them any time soon. I have a stack of art magazines that have some pretty cool images in them. I thought of maybe cutting stuff out, a la high school collage, and gluing them to the frames. We'll see.

Well, this turned into more than a short hello, and I apologize. If I end up making anything, I'll let you know. For now, I'll just look at all the cool stuff you guys make and kick myself for not doing anything.
