I am a full-time proofreader at Allen Press and a part-time painter and jewelry maker. I am currently on a "recycling" binge of sorts, making earrings, bracelets, and necklaces out of bottle caps and board games pieces. Give the girl a drill and nothing can stop her! Current projects include: new and vintage bottle caps of any beer or soda conceivable, Lite Brites, dominoes, Scrabble tiles, and Stratego pieces, but the fun surely will not stop there! I also paint for pleasure and profit. In truth, I love to paint, regardless of if I make any profit. Most of my paintings would be deemed "abstract," for lack of a better description. You may notice that I do not have a consistent style, and this is because most of my work is purely exploratory--just my fingers, some paint, and a canvas. The prices on my paintings are somewhat negotiable, but the higher the price tag is, the less willing I am to part with it. After all, these are purely original painting that I cannot duplicate or recreate. For custom made jewelry or paintings, email me at: JoyBancroft@gmail.com or visit my website at:
