~ Hello, enchanting to meet you! ~

My name is Rosemary, and I'm the artisan behind Ozma of odds.
Here is where you will find beautiful items,
spun from the fairytale within my soul,
carried upon ethereal wings,
most especially for......You!
I seek to inspire creativity, uplift your spirit and perhaps, awaken the fairytale within you ~ even if only for a moment!

Here are a few things about me...
* I am a mixed media artist who gathers beautiful, gossamer materials and infuses them into elegant, one of a kind pieces that radiate a graceful whimsy.
* I enjoy staging and taking photos with the intent to spin a tale or simply present an inspirational thought.
* My creative heart has always belonged to the arts and to the beautiful sea.
* I studied textiles and design ~ and while on this artists hearts journey, a few of my past jobs have included: a seamstress for a child's luxury clothing line, store window designer, floral designer, fabric shop manager, costume designer, and... the list goes on..
Looking back at these few listed job choices, I realize that I have spent my life building an authentic, creative life and career that is as visually inspired as it is fulfilling. My creative work today, is a direct result of my wandering heart thus far, incorporating those past experiences and knowledge into the present, which has a ripple effect on all that I do. All that I lay my hands on, has my "soul print" upon it with an infused sense of that fairytale elegance. This is evident in my home design, in my personal style and in all of the things I create.
It is my heart's desire that perhaps while visiting Ozma of odds, you will find something beautiful that inspires your heart and speaks to your soul as well!

One of my favorite inspirational quotes:

"There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and there is only one of you in all time. This expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium; and be lost. The world will not have it.
It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours ~ clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you."

- Martha Graham
