This is Edmonton and what -34 looks like! And this is supposed to last a whole week! 🤦‍♀️ #edmontonfreeze #extremecold #whydoilivehere

And here is the last piece that I made over the holidays. Still needs to be covered in resin but when it’s done it will be for sale #mixedmedia #yegartist #edmontonartist #bycurated #themakerskeep #whollyhandmade #theurbangypsy #theurbanwanderer

Every so often I’m asked to do commissioned pieces. Truly when I’m asked I can’t be more flattered. This was no exception when a beautiful soul named a Desiree asked me to create a canvas with her daughter’s picture amidst it. This is the final product before I covered it with resin. #mixedmedia #poinsettia #yegartist #edmontonartist #whollyhandmade #bycurated #themakerskeep #theurbangypsy

Here’s one more! I’m excited about how the mandala looks velvety. For this piece I used part of my friend’s wedding invitation in the background. Indian wedding invitations are a work of art in of themselves! This piece will be up for sale as soon as I cover it in resin. #yegartist #edmontonartist #mixedmedia #ganesha #theurbangypsy #theurbanwanderer #bycurated #whollyhandmade #themakerskeep

Here is my second piece I’ve made over the holidays. It will e for sale as soon as I pour resin on it. #yegartist #edmontonartist #mixedmedia #octopusart

There were so many things about 2019 that I am grateful for. Here are a few highlights but honestly there are a million other memories that make my heart dance and make me laugh til I cry. I want to wish you all a very happy new year and may 2020 fill your lives with love, simple pleasures and amazing memories that you can hold on to. Lots of love!

I’ve finally been able to work on some art over this holiday break! It’s been awhile but still fun and messy. This piece will be for sale after I finish it with resin. #yegartist #mixedmedia #edmontonmade #butterfly #bycurated #themakerskeep #theurbangypsy #theurbanwanderer

I just want to wish everyone a very merry Christmas! I hope that all of you get to spend some time over the holidays laughing with loved ones and creating lifelong memories. Thank you so much for all your support throughout the year. It means so much to have a creative outlet and share my creations with you. It blows my mind that people want to buy my stuff and truly gives me a purpose to continue down this road as The Urban Gypsy/Wanderer. Thank you for shopping local. Thank you to all the new people I’ve met through this venture whether it be other makers or customers. Every connection makes my life that much more colourful. Lots of love! ❤️

Last chance to grab some of my newest pieces before Christmas. This weekend I’m excited to be a part of the Wholly Handmade Holiday Market. Hope to see you there! #whollyhandmade #theurbangypsy #theurbanwanderer #yegmade #shoplocal

The river isn’t even frozen yet but I’m so over winter! #frozenriver #yeggers #edmonton #winterweather #theurbangypsy #theurbanwanderer

Happy Halloween Everybody! This is a pic of my parents circa 1984 I am guessing. I sure love those crazy kids! #happyhalloween

The Spice Girls of Extension made a blazing appearance at the United Way Plasma Car Derby today at the UofA. With a podium finish of 2nd place and the winner of the Best Dressed we had a lot of fun raising funds for the United Way. Old Spice - Don’t let her blue hair and walker fool you! Old Spice is ready to grind the gears and persevere all the way to first place! Pumpkin Spice - This seasonal favourite is in her prime this time of year! You’ve seen her everywhere lately—from Oreo cookies to Spam—but don’t blink or you might just miss her! This gal moves fast and will leave the competition in her spicy dust! Spice Cake - Victory is a dessert best served with spice! Spice Cake has all the ingredients to make it to the top of the podium. If you can’t handle the heat, you better get out of her kitchen! Secret Spice - Every team needs that special something that you can’t quite put your finger on. With Secret Spice, you may never know what hit ya, but you won’t soon forget her! #unitedway #plasmacarderby #uofa #spicegirls #unignorable

Check out my newest designs. Simple shambala bracelets to remind ourselves to be grateful for the little things in life. #theurbangypsy #yegmade #shoplocal #edmontonmade #yegartist #bycurated #themakerskeep

Malas ~ Malas ~ Malas ........... Here is a sneak peak of all my newest Malas that will be available at this weekend’s market - Wholly Handmade. It takes place at the Agora Centre on Saturday & Sunday. Get your one of a kind piece before it’s gone! 📿 #malanecklace #whollyhandmade #bycurated #themakerskeep #yegmade #shoplocal

No filter needed for this one! Although I’m sad to be back at home, I can’t be more grateful to live in Canada. #yeggers #edmonton #sunrise #edmonton

Last day in Greece. Working in the laundry at Ritsona refugee camp, spending the last night with my girls and Lucy and I showing off our gift from the amazing Mrs Fortini. #greeklife #chalkida #ritsona #volunteerabroad #theurbangypsy

Road trip! We weren’t allowed to go to camp today because of unrest so instead we hired a car and did a road trip to Kymi and Kalamos. #greeklife #roadtrip #eviaisland #kymi #kalamos #wanderlust #theurbangypsy

Just a few days left in Greece. Trying to savor every moment! Here are a few from camp and after work in Chalkida. #chalkida #ritsona #volunteerabroad #greeklife #theurbangypsy
