Aloha. I'm Erika Hampton.

This is where my creativity is shared with you in hopes that you find encouragement and inspiration for your own creative journey. Do you know your purpose, your superpower? It can be anything! Gardening is my superpower, I love to collect and share seeds. I believe that planting a tree today shows promise for a better tomorrow. Trees clean the air, hold soil in place, provide shelter for all sorts of lifeforms, they even provide food.

Where would we be with out the medicinal powers of Essential Oils, again provided by plants. Now is a great time to learn to grow our own food and to share this knowledge with others. Let's begin.

When I am not in the garden I may be found in my Art Studio "Girl World", here is where Painting happens. Oil or acrylic paints are applied to Canvas, driftwood, rocks, and so many other things. Painting is fun fun fun. Like Bob Ross says there are no mistakes in painting only happy little accidents.

Girl World is a very busy place there is always something to do. A couple of years ago I discovered the skill of wire wrapping stones and crystals I combined this craft with beading and now I am making wire-wrapped beaded Jewelry.

From time to time I enjoy Crocheting, I make scarves, hats, and blankets but I also make these groovy little slings that make it easier to take your water bottle with you while keeping your hands free. Sure you could throw your water bottle into your purse but why risk a wet purse?

Recently I came across a video on youtube about making Fairy Houses out of old bottles and jars, crumpled up foil and modeling clay so I gave it a go and, FUN!!! I really enjoy it. Once I waterproof the fairy house they will make a nice addition to the garden. It is nice to be able to leave things better than they were.

My blog can be found here. For more creative inspiration or if you just want to learn more of what makes me tick.
