About Me

My photo
Adrienne Wood
Ystrad Mynach, Wales, United Kingdom
I love trying out new ideas, techniques, and materials. I started making simple cards in the autumn of 2003, and have progressed to ATCs, Inchies, and all sorts of altered art.... and now I'm dabbling in textiles and mixed media. There's always something new to learn!
