I thought I’d post another video, along with my gofundme link, explaining the main condition I suffer from.

In this video I talk about FMDs: what it is, what causes it, how it affects me, how it aggravates my fibromyalgia and the life I’ve managed to build despite this disease.

Good morning everyone 🤟 I hope you’re having a great day!

Over the next couple of days I’ll be posting videos answering some questions about the project I’m working on.

Today: Why New Orleans?

I hope it’s as informative as I weighs like it to be.

We’ve gotten three contributions so far!! I’m so appreciative for all the help and support.

If you can contribute, I would be incredibly grateful. If you can’t, and I sure understand that, I would really really appreciate it if you could share this message. Any help is sincerely appreciated 😊🤟

Happy Sunday everyone! I hope you’re all having a great day. You ever get a message from the universe? A thought maybe that pops into your head, words on a sign have special meaning one day, inspiration in the clouds causes a realization? Something like that? Well as I’ve been working I develop the studio I’ve received the message, several times (you’d thinking would stop resisting), that it’s going to “take all of me” which I understand as sharing my heart and being vulnerable, which is very uncomfortable for me…. But here goes anyway.

I thought it might be a good idea to share some videos of me in my own words talking about myself and where I’m headed.

Feel free to ask questions or let me know what you’d like to know more about.

I’m trying to be more engaging, it’ll help you get to know me and I’ll have some interaction syncs currently it’s difficult to leave the house at all.

Below is my go fund me. I appreciate all your help, sincerely.

A moment in time (keepsake box) - The Artists

Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Vincent Van Gogh are artistic heroes of mine. When I was asked to make a line of jewelry/trinket/card boxes for a bookstore I could think of no greater inspiration than two of the greats in paint and design.

I stained the box golden oak. I used a gorgeous piece of Violet/Lavender Van Gogh glass in the bottom and for the panel I used Pink Champagne rough-rolled glass to offset a Charles René Mackintosh rose design which I did in Pink Tiffany reproduction glass.

A beautiful homage to Victorian Era artists adorning your nightstand, dresser or your favorite space.

As with all of my art, it’s meant to remind you that you are beautiful and that you deserve that beauty reflected around your home.

The interior dimensions are 5 5/8” W x 4” D x 1 5/8 H

Getting ready for another show - the Holiday Shopping Social. I’m making two new lamps for this one (it’s happening rather quick 12/8 so not a lot of time).

[ktzangpostudios]

We hear, frequently, that folks love the lamps but say “I have no idea where I’d put it”. I’ve talked about it before but I didn’t express myself as fully as I could have. I danced around the point for fear of being seen as egotistic, but here it is:

They’re not supposed to go with anything in specific. They’re supposed to shake things up. They’re not going to really match any current themed decor. That was the intention.

I make my art/lamps from my heart and offer them as a light of hope to whatever you may be facing. What are they really? Well, they’re an anchor. They are an anchor of personal space/expression. I’ve seen that the lovely folks who send me photos have dressed up a whole personal space around it; just as I do. That’s all they are. Just an anchor, a light for you to set up a personal or sacred space and celebrate you.

Here are a few photos of a lamp dressed up with a few things I have around that I, myself, might place in this space.
