Hello! ;) My name is Ginger and I make LOTS of different kinds of art... I can never really stick to just one medium or I would get burnt out on it. Whenever I sell at local art shows I see that each person likes something different so a variety really is the way to go! I have all of what I make in my one etsy shop. Here are some of the different kinds of things I love to make...
*Wool Sculptures* Something I got into just a year ago and really enjoy. I do the best with free-form art .. I get the material in my hands and it just magically transforms into something by the end!

I've got lots of print-worthy photos, only some listed on Etsy so far. I shoot all of my own product photography and have done it for other people and companies too. I've done portrait sessions with families and even a couple weddings. I have a Canon DSLR camera that goes with me everywhere.

I love making them -- especially hunting out cool, vintage hard cover books at thrift/antique stores and garage sales and doing the finishing touches of adding decorative paper and paint.

My favorite thing to make are roses! I do make other kinds of incense burners, fishermen decorations, orchid pots, flower pot decorations like butterflies, dragonflies, mayflies.. etc.

I have some repeat customers that swear by my scents and that makes me very happy. I get to burn it in my studio all the time too. I'm low on supplies for now but will be re-doing my incense line this fall/winter.
http://www.etsy.com/listing/79547376/sap-moss-earthy-incense-sticks-20*Cold Process Soap* My aunt who is also a multi-medium artist taught me how to make homemade soap this winter! I will forever keep making it because the thought of going back to store-bought soap is terrifying!

(So far.. I guess..) Which I am going to be making a lot more of because people really seem to like them. I make other scarves out of wool and sometimes silk, too.
