It all started as a simple creative outlet. I had a surplus of ceramic tiles and a newfound love for fluid art. I poured my heart onto those tiles, transforming them into vibrant expressions of color and movement. Little did I know that these humble creations would soon become much more than just art. When I started sharing my creations with my community, offering them as free gifts on Nextdoor, I was overwhelmed by the response. People were genuinely touched by these small gestures of kindness.

It dawned on me that these weren't just pieces of art; they were tokens of connection, a way to express gratitude and appreciation.

Inspired by this realization, I began experimenting with different mediums, creating miniature works of art that I could easily share with the people whose paths crossed mine. I wrote heartfelt messages on the back, acknowledging their hard work, their kindness, or simply their presence in my life. These little tokens of love have become a way for me to spread joy and brighten someone's day. I've seen firsthand the power they have to uplift spirits and create a sense of belonging.

There are so many ways to create these: collage, paint, sketch, stitch…and I love exploring all of them! But what I enjoy even more, is sharing these techniques with YOU! Making something with your hands is a sacred experience. Losing yourself to the process is a gift.
