Audrey has always been an “Artsy” type but in the mid 1980s she was bitten by the beading bug! She’d seen some beautiful, beaded earrings made by a neighbor and that was it for her. Over the years she’s thoroughly loved learning the many different stitches and techniques. Then, in early 2016, she found out she was going to be a Gramma, Audrey decided to teach herself to crochet. She’d always wanted to learn this and it was now time – aside from the baby booties, hats, and blankets for her family, she discovered and has perfected her technique in creating little yarn animals called ‘amigurumi’, a Japanese word for crocheted and knitted stuffed toys .
The next chapter in her creative life began in 2020 when Audrey resolved to start painting. She wanted to start small and also find a canvas that was inexpensive. She chose rocks! They are so abundant around where she lives and come in all sorts of sizes that spark her imagination and exercise her talents. And she still loves her beading and crochet work. Hence her new name, Birdlady Creations!
