elements
Hello.
My name is amy. It's nice to meet you.
Here you're going to find a few elements of me. Mostly the
artistic bits. I dabble in almost anything creative, so you'll
get a chance to see painting, drawing, cake, and whatever else
I have recently been inspired to tackle.
I hope you like it, but if you don't, I promise not to take it
personally. I have practice.
My ideas come from poorly written books, walks in the city,
driving on back roads, sleeping, autumn, cocoa, lyrics,
getting lost, hats. lots of hats, scotch tape, people i love,
and the color green.

Adventure? I have arrived. Continuing along the vein of cake
art, I have transplanted to Colorado to be a decorator at
Whole Foods Market in downtown Denver. I never could have
suspected the overwhelming joy that comes from seeing
mountains on a daily basis. And the clouds? Magnanimously
dynamic. I don't even understand.
Next step: stop being homeless.
