Fun Facts, Creative Quirks & Laurieisms

~ I can’t cut or draw a straight line to save my life and I’m thankful it works in my favor. lol
~ I don’t normally have a plan when I sit down to create but I usually have supplies in mind that I’m in the mood to use.
~ I would rather have fun creating than try to achieve perfection. If it’s not fun, I don’t want to do it. (You can insert stomping foot here if it makes you happy lol)
~ I don’t paint realistic (I get enough “real” in every day life). In my art studio I want whimsy, wonky, unrealistic and funky.
~ Peel a juicy orange and get sticky fingers? No thanks! Get paint and glue on my fingers? No problem. lol
~ I love the smell of office supply stores. Tell me I’m not the only one. lol
~ I love wandering through antique shops looking for things to use in my art journals or old linens for sewing projects.
~ My first love is fabric.
~ I have quite a few sewing machines but my favorite sewing machine is my Singer 301a. I learned to sew on it and use it to this day.
