~ about me ~


 ...a little something about me...

    


~ Hello, enchanting to meet you! ~ 

My name is Rosemary, and I'm the artisan behind Ozma of odds.
Ozma of odds is where you will find beautiful artisan items, 
spun from the fairytale within my soul, carried on ethereal lace wings, most especially for...You!
I seek to inspire creativity, uplift your spirit and perhaps, awaken the fairytale within you ~ even if only for a moment! 

Here are a few things about me...
* I am a mixed media artist who gathers beautiful, ethereal materials and infuses them into elegant, one of a kind pieces that radiate a graceful whimsy. 
* I enjoy staging and taking photo's with the intent to spin a tale or simply present an inspirational thought.
* My heart has always belonged to the arts and to the beautiful sea.
* I studied textiles and design and while on this heart's journey, a few of my past jobs have included: a seamstress for a child's luxury line, store window designer, floral designer, fabric shop manager, costume designer, and the list goes on..
Looking back at these few listed and many other interesting job choices, I realize that I have spent my life building an authentic, creative life and career that is as rewarding as it is fulfilling. My creative work today, is a direct result of my wandering heart thus far, incorporating those past experiences and knowledge into the present, which has a ripple effect on all that I do. All that I lay my hands on, has my "soul print" upon it with that infused sense of fairytale elegance. This is evident in my home design, in my personal style and in all of the things I create.
It is my heart's desire that perhaps while visiting Ozma of odds, you will find something beautiful that inspires your heart and speaks to your soul!

One of my favorite inspirational quotes:

"There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and there is only one of you in all time. This expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium; and be lost. The world will not have it.

It is not your business to determine how good it is, not how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you."

- Martha Graham
