Jeannine has a passion for creating, using a wide variety of mediums. With a strong background in arts and crafts, she has indulged in acrylic pouring or fluid art. Fascinated with using different techniques, she is able to achieve special effects resulting in whimsical, dramatic, and intriguing pieces including canvas paintings, coaster/trivet sets, and pendants.

Books have more uses than might be obvious. You can press flowers in a heavy one or use a thick one as a booster seat. You can even read them! But have you tried turning a book into three-dimensional sculpture?

Book folding is an art form that involves folding individual pages— sometimes combined with cutting the paper — to create three-dimensional sculptures. By carefully folding, intricate patterns and designs can be created, resulting in visually stunning pieces.
