A little about me

My name is Jen or "Jennifer" if I piss my parents off enough. I am born and raised in Ontario, Canada and no, you don't get used to the winters, at least I haven't yet in my thirty something winters here!


I have always had a magnetic pull towards creative endeavors. My earliest activities were drawing, sculpting (horrendously) and painting whatever I could. At the age of 6 or 7 I decided that my father was completely wasting his tool shed with such nonsense as lawnmowers and gardening tools, and took it upon myself to take over and make it my painting studio.


Let me tell you, it was hot as hell in that little wooden shed at the back of our yard, but I was determined to make my art and my dad didn't complain, in fact he was my very first customer, and still has the misshapen, heat stroke induced portrait of our family dog somewhere.


I went to school for photography, and while that is still a major passion and hobby for me, I quickly realized that I didn't have the drive or will to deal with the horrors of wedding photography and the like, and that my resting bitch face wasn't helping the situation any.


I spent a lot of years making my art for friends and family, or mostly just for my own amusement. I toyed with the idea of selling on Etsy for YEARS. Once I began to create things for my shop I found that I could not stop. The ideas are streaming in almost constantly and I have since branched out into soaps, bath products etc, which was a whole new art form for me and something that I am finding to be immensely satisfying. Soap making is like art and science rolled into one and the possibility for creation is endless!


Another passion I picked up in the last couple years has been Pyrography or "wood burning" and it quickly became not only an obsession, but the most sought after art I have ever created!


I have no doubt in my mind that creating and expanding my artistic horizons will only continue on and on, thus my little shop has become something of a "general store" featuring plenty of different items and products, and as much as online advice tells us to stick to one item per store, this works for me and I love the variety!


I hope you will enjoy scrolling through and will come back often if only to see what this mad girls mind has concocted next!


Cheers,


Jen
