Hi, My name is Helen Grossman. I like to paint, read books, and learning a new forms of art and techniques. I love to learn and experiment with different medias and surfaces, like clay, paper, beads, gourds,it is always something new here to learn and grow. When I am feeling burn out I am reading books or taking my brushes and paint. Back in Ukraine I learned a decorative folk art style of painting called Petrikivka named after village it was born.

Vera G starring in "Butterfly kisses"


Let me introduce you to a new rising star - Vera G. She was nominated "The best drama actress" for her role in "Butterfly kisses".

He-he-he...It was a challenge created by Mary Tressler. We have to create a movie star, back in to 20-30th, create the costume and come up with the name and movie title.

I really enjoy this pattern. The doll is about 15" height, delicate and well proportioned ( I am referring to pattern) , staying on its own and the pieces are coming together like a charm...

Hugs, Helen

One doll is for Winter and another one for Spring Season. Winter doll is holding teady bear that I needle felted. It was one of my first felting projects.
