I always said, that if you put me in a box, I will jump out of it! . . . But then, I proceeded to fall into an acceptable rut, like most of us do. I have made mostly utilitarian practical items for use in daily life . . . but my artistic side has been wanting to jump out of the box! 'Sew' . . . I have created an alter ego for an artistic outlet . . . her name is Abigail Jayne! She basically gives me permission to break all the rules, avoid the ruts and have an awesome time creating!

She first "appeared" when I started writing and illustrating . . . she became my pseudonym. I was already a blogger, but I started a new blog just for my writing and art--Abigail's Attic! It can be found here:

. . . . . but then I jumped out again! I separated my writing to another blog:

http://SabbaticalVenture.blogspot.com

Then, I decided to branch out more . . . with crazy quilting! I made a little stuffed mannequin pillow of myself all "dolled up"! This led to . . . more creativity . . . wrist cuffs with lots of texture and other original fanciful creative wearable art pieces and small art quilts! So, you will see all kinds of unique items in my Abigail Jayne Art shop!

I'm having 'sew' much fun . . hope you enjoy my crazy, artsy side and let yours out-of-the-box too! Enjoy!
