About Me

My name is April. I am 26 years old and I live in Tennessee with my husband Ron, whom I met at art college in Ohio. We are proud/loving parents of 2 furry children otherwise known as cats.

I went to Columbus College of Art and Design 2000-2003 and was majoring in Illustration. I felt like God was calling me to become an art teacher so, I transferred to Tennessee Tech University were I finished my BFA in Art Education and recieved my Teaching Certification for K-12.

I am currently working as a Graphic Designer. I would prefer to be teaching art K-12 or running my own wedding invitation business. My wedding invitations are going to be my priority come the new year.

I am obsessed with anything that has to do with art. So if you are my swapper, I am not very picky. I love original creative things and supplies.

Favorite Crafts

• Anything paper- I love collaging and making stationary and invitations. • Beading on a loom. • Painting- Watercolor and Acrylic. • Needlefelting • Sewing felt and fleece- Adorning Thread and Ribbons

Things I love

• Sparkly Gel pens • Watercolor dyes • Paintbrushes • Colorful Paper • Lots of Beads- as long they are not plastic • Polka Dots and stripes • Flowers- Gardening and Photography of • Felt • Wool Roving • Art history and Museums postcards • Girly stuff like: Body sprays- Exotic Coconut, Enchanted orchid Bath and Body Works, fun shirts, Makeup-eyeshadows, lipgloss, candles

Favorite colors

Teal, Kelly Green, Royal Blue, Burnt Orange, Cotton Candy Pink, Deep Purple

Things I don't like

• Crafts that come in pre-made kits that don't allow for creativity. It's only okay if you are under the age of 6 and just learning hand eye coordination and the basics. • Skulls, Goth, Darkness • Cigarette Smoke and beer

Favorite Music

The Ting Tings, Jem, Ingrid Michealson, Eric Hutchinson, Gwen Stefani, Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz, Plumb, Natalie Grant, Switchfoot, Fiest, folk, indie, most anything really.

Favorite Artists

Gustav Klimt, Alphonse Mucha, Joe Sorren, Janet Fish, Wayne Thiebaud

Least favorite foods

Pineapple, Cantaloupe, and Coconut unless it's a samoa cookie. I don't really like peanuts, almonds, or pecans but will eat them occasionally.

Comment: I'm not sure I want to join another inchie swap....ever. I'm afraid I'll be disappointed after these animal inchies! ;-) I wanted to tell you which was my favorite, but I'm having such a hard time choosing!! Fantastic art!!
Response: I am feeling the same way about the inchie swaps- not sure if I will participate in the following of the series. I think I put a little more effort into my inchies than my partners. I was a little hesitant to give 5's and a little disappointed when I got mine.
