Introduction	Hello world, welcome to my blog. This is my art, works in progress, news, stories, adventures, misadventures, occasional rants and raves, and other random thoughts. I figure all this writing makes up for not talking much! <br><br> I am an artist, engravers, and a scrimshander (scrimshandress? That sounds naughty...). That image in the banner is a closeup of some of my work. In real life it's about an inch and a quarter wide. I really do work at a microscope.<br><br> If you took an artist, a writer, a cowgirl, a farmer, a hippie, a nerd, a dreamer, a pessimist, a hopeless romantic, and Betty Crocker, and mooshed all that up together with a heavy dose of sarcasm, you'd pretty much get me. <br><br> Stick around, you might like it here! Don't be shy about commenting, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

You forgot your mom's birthday! What can you make out of super glue and olive pits?

A tiara! But the real question is what happened to the olives, because I sure as heck didn't eat them, eww!
