Writing books, making art, looking at art, movies, my boutique in New York's East Village. The fact is I'm in love with papier mache and broken glass right now. I'm also in to mixed media art, 3-D art and 18th Century hand drawn images. Write to me and we'll talk about it!
Music
Wow, this is a big list here. But lately my friend Kelly's sister Meiko is really rocking my boat.
Movies
My favorite Horror movie is called Martha Stewart's Nightmare. It's where everyone she ever stole an idea from (and claimed it as her own) comes to poke her with a pin and burn her with a glue gun. It's called Killer Craft......Martha in Hell!
Television
C'mon folks! While You Were Out, 10 Years Younger, My Celebrity Home and She's Moving In. Then my all time favorite....The Tony Danza Show which I was a regular.....together we made over schools in need. Best time of my life!
Books
Heroes
People who make the Most of every day and get up in the middle of the night to write down ideas. People who always have a craft going......one craft on the kitchen table and one craft in the backyard! People who fall asleep with needles in their bed while watching TV way too late and making projects! People who love unconditionally and don't judge. People who see the beauty in the world despite the flaws.
Not sure what to say here except that I love artists of all kinds.

About me: Well, I wrote THE BIG ASS BOOK OF CRAFTS because I've been making stuff in my room since I could eat glue. This book is almost 400 pages and has almost 200 projects that will rock your glue lovin' socks off. It's in every major book joint, so check it out and let me know what you think. Other than that, I make TV shows, teach art to kiddies and obsess about politics. It's a life and I love it. Craft your woes away I say and when you take a break, write to me.
