ArtisticWill Studios, Glitter Art

ArtisticWill Studios was started when my mother had Alzheimers. She loved things that sparkle. A percentage of the proceeds are donated to Alzheimer Association and other charities.

You've never seen glitter used this way. I've mix loose glitter to a paint base and hand paint with a brush, creating beautiful sparkling art and keepsakes with multiple layers of glitter in a stained glass style. http://artisticwill.etsy.com

I belong to a non profit group called "The IndeIxhibit", a group of talented artists, crafters, photographers, sculptors, etc... wanting to enhance our brands by gifting to Hollywood celebrities. Big Hollywood names own my glitter art and has sent me personal emails "thanking me for my beautiful glitter art". Celebrities: Celine Dion (singer), Kelly Preston (John Travota wife), to Josh Sussman (Glee),and others. Do you want what the celebrities have, you can just visit my Etsy shop.

Please join my blog or mailing list on the subscription box. I have occasional give-a-ways of my glitter art, discounts and new creations. May gratitude and sparkle fill your day. Thanks for visiting.

Caregiving Journal 8/21/10

Hello everyone. Thank you for coming back. It's nice to have a loyal following. The days have been difficult dealing with placing my mother in a home. I know it is the best place for her due to her condition, but it's hard dealing with guilt. I visit her 2-3x a week. I've read, if a nursing home patient receives visitors often, they tend to do better than those that don't. She cries wanting to go back home, when I visit. I try to be strong, and tell her that it's too dangerous for her to return home due to her choking. Her response is, "What choking, I never choke on my food, I'm healthy and well." She doesn't remember most incidents due to her Alzheimer's disease. She believes she can do anything as capable person could do, yet she get frustrated when she can't even remember how to basic needs as brushing her teeth, how to swallow, or even getting words out correctly to make a sentence. Thank you to everyone's love and support during this difficult time in my life.

Now that mom has gone into a home, I have a little more time on my hands. I'm trying to rebuild my business. If anyone enjoys my sparkling glitter art and what I do, PLEASE mention it to friends and family. It's been said, word of mouth is the best form of compliment, I thank you everyone from the bottom of my heart.

I've found some more beautiful finds, this time it's all jewelry. All jewelry lover, visit these wonderful shops and share some love. Sending best wishes to all.
