We will never know what difference we may make if we let distraction keep us from action.

Hello. I am a joyful wife and mother of three, just turned loose the last of my little chicks, and getting ready to spread my own writing wings. Twenty-six years ago I earned a B.A. in English because my heart's desire was to write. Since that time I've worked as a teacher, musician, cleaning lady, tax professional, and artist, but never as a writer. In the past year, several friends have encouraged me to pick up the baton and run with it. By creating this blog, I took the first baby step toward becoming a published author. The journey will likely be longer than I can imagine, but it has finally begun, and that's all that matters.

Yesterday I was away from home all day, but even away from home my hands remained busy. Two bass piano strings became two half notes, two eighth rests, two treble clefs, and two bass clefs. And I came away with only one bruise. :) . . #pianoartist #piano #pianoart #copperdecor #etsy #etsysellers #upcycledart #wip #handcrafted #giftsformusicians #musiclovers
Bach Yard Chickens, #2 of 4. After weeks of hesitation and several trips back to the canvas for tweaking, another one is finally done. The gravel will be lighter on the next two, but I couldn't change this one. Unfortunately, the chickens don't show up too well, but I'm learning.... . 14x11 mixed media on canvas (acrylic and piano parts with a spattering of quinoa) . . #piano #pianoart #pianoartist #handcrafted #etsy #etsysellers #encoreoldpianos #pianohammers #giftsformusicians #chickens #chickenart #backyardchickens
Introducing a brand new blog and website dedicated to my art..... The link is in my profile above, and it's very easy to remember: Encore! Old Pianos (minus the spaces and punctuation). . Here you will find articles and photos about the process of how I create my piano art pieces, the history of the pianos that come to me (or at least their manufacturers), and news regarding art shows and craft fairs where Encore! Old Pianos will be participating as a vendor. . I'll also take part in weekly photo challenges hosted by my fellow bloggers, or curate a post from another blogger. In short, I'll try to keep the site interesting and mildly eclectic while not straying too far from the main focus of piano art. . And for those interested in purchasing an item for yourself or a loved one, you'll find a link to my Etsy shop. . So do stop by my new blog, and be sure to follow to receive updates in your inbox. . . #blogger #pianokeyart #pianoart #pianoartist #wordpressblogger #lovetoblog #woodart #reclaimedwoodart #upcycledart #upcycledpiano #pianoblogger #etsysellers #encoreoldpianos #giftsformusicians
Music is my favorite accessory.... Introducing "Accentato," because our accessories are our visual accents. Three of these jewelry hangers came into the family last week, and one of them went home to a new family over the weekend. They are made from a section of the key pin rail (tips painted white and black) and a piece from a piano lid, with wippens and letup buttons to adorn the corners. I added the vinyl lettering and attached the two pieces from behind. Accentato is perfect for hanging each necklace separately so that none of them get tangled. Not only that, but it's a beautiful way to keep an old piano alive and useful. . . #piano #pianoart #pianoartist #wooddecor #woodart #handcrafted #etsy #etsysellers #encoreoldpianos #giftsformusicians #jewelrylover #jewelry
