I'm not all that great with technology. I'd rather do what I do best, make dolls, make good food, homeschool my boys, compose music, play skip-bo, watch Chopped, read a book, go for bike rides, go thrifting etc. Ok, you get the idea-I'd basically like to be doing anything but technological stuff like creating and maintaining sites and pages! That's basically why it's taken me forever to create this blog page. Today I took it one step further and even put pictures (which is a big ordeal for my non-computer skills!) on a Facebook page just devoted to my art stuff. Look up Jenene Mortimer artist to see that page. So far my daughter gave it a thumbs up "like it" so....that's a start! Thank goodness she's around-I have a guaranteed number 1 fan!
Here's the pumpkin man I made a few years ago. I'm always happy to see my old friend when I pull out the Halloween decorations. I'm currently making another more detailed doll (like he is) this time a witch. I'll post her when I'm done. Now and then I just need to make something that looks different than my typical doll look.
About Me
- Jenene
- I am an artist. If you don’t believe me, the company I work for listed me as one, so therefore, I am now an official artist. I have to laugh about that because I’ve always felt too insecure to call myself one since I am self-taught. Because of that I’ve been perfectly content being called a crafter. I like being a crafter and the dictionary says that “a crafter is someone who’s profession or activity involves the skillful making of decorative objects”. Wow, that’s me. I love to make decorative objects (for the holidays especially). Of course, now that I have my artisan title, I had to see what the dictionary said about that. An artist is “somebody who creates art, especially paintings or sculptures”. Okay, I do painting and sculpting so I guess it’s okay to have that title too. Now I can be happy with both titles and live my lifelong dream.
