About Kim:
Imagination is the key to my secret garden, my creative way down the rabbit hole, my looking glass.
I don't set out to produce art about one subject or the other. My creativity is inspired by a whimsical life, triggers of nature, passages of time and objects of beauty and color. Most often I work from the inside out. Though I work quite intentionally, consciously employing both traditional and innovative techniques, my unconscious is the undisputed project manager. Inspired and invigorated by the world we live in, I remain in awe by the ghosts of the past and the brilliance of the artists whose work immobilizes me to the core. I am a gatherer of beauty and whimsy, nature and found objects, all of which have proven a most amenable vehicle for translating inner vision to outer reality. Working without the fear of perfection frees my imagination and provides many opportunities for happy accidents and grace to influence the finished product.
All my life I have been an artist with one foot in and one foot out. When I began this journey of opening my Etsy shop in 2005 and jumping into the art world with both feet, I totally stepped out on faith. When I saw this quote, I thought it related so well to my blog name... "I fly without wings".. on my horse of faith!
"When God created the horse, he said to the magnificent creature; I have made thee like no other. All the treasures on earth lie between thy eyes. Thou shalt carry my friends upon thy back. Thy saddle shall be the seat of prayers to me. And thy shall fly without wings, and conquer without sword, oh horse ..... of faith".

About Chrissy:
My name is Christina Colon. I currently live in Okinawa, Japan with my husband, four children and two dogs.
I have been paper crafting for more than a few years and started out as a traditional layout gal. Since then, I have ventured into card making, mini albums, altered art, and other off the page projects. I find that my favorite things to create are mini albums, off the page projects and wreaths, which you will see plenty of.
My style can best be described as eclectic, unique and technical with a dash of whimsy and meth (but without the "junky" part). I like to mix traditional with modern and I love to experiment with different color and pattern mixes. I gather my inspiration from my everyday surroundings.
When I'm not sitting at the table working on some kind of project, you can find me at the beach with the kids or SCUBA diving, at the gym doing some Crossfit, or even on my couch indulging in an epic RPG video game. I also love to read, hike, and mess around with the kids.
Cheers!
