y Ci nd Patch I ...LL For as long as I can remember, I have always been fond of art. When I was very young I would always ask people to draw for me. I would then take their pictures and try to do it myself. By doing this I started learning about drawing and acquired an interest for art that I will never lose. That was a long time ago, but today l'm still drawing. I like drawing people in particular. I have done a lot of portraits ol people l've known and drawings of places l've been. Another form of art which I often do is scrimshaw. I have been doing it for about three years now, after being taught by a friend. I started doing it as a hobby and ended up selling many pieces of scrimshaw iewelry. Although creating scrimshaw and drawing people is what I do most, I have also made items out of cornhusks, such as husk wreathes decorated for Christmas. l've also done a little pottery and enjoy working with clay. I would like to start sculpting with it. Art is a very special thing to me. I like being able to put things on paper or whalestooth whenever I want to, I think it's a very good thing to use your hands in this manner, to create something new. -I

2 . Sewing is something that means a great deal to me. Sewing takes a lot of time and patience but if you like to sew it pays off in the long run. My sewing ability enables me, along with Pat Sullivan, to be a part of the lordan Marsh Creative Fashion Council. Sewing is a pleasant way of earning and saving money, but I do not intend to make a career of it. orma Tirrel
