I do not enjoy being idle. That's probably because I'm half-German, half-(Retired-)Air-Force-Sergeant's daughter. When I am not sitting at the piano, I toil in my art studio/home office (aka the Lair of Evil), where I make stuff. This page is random selection of my favourite creations.

My friend Cinthia coined the term to bauble, which is the fine art of stringing beads into magnificient pieces of jewellery. I have been collecting baubling paraphernalia for about 25 years now; my first set of beads was given to me by my dad, as a reward for learning how to speak French. I still have most of those beads. And I still speak French, too. C'est formidable, n'est-ce pas?

collages and altered art>

I am obsessed with paper, ephemera and all things Victorian. And I like to play with scissors. I've been collecting ephemera, cutting stuff out of magazines and gluing that stuff to other stuff for as long as I can remember. I was a lonely child.
