   Michelle, Your art is wonderful. In reading your bio I’ve found that you are also from Central Ohio. Super to see a local person doing soooooooo well.
   Do you give classes or teach in any shops ?
   Your techniques are amazing and your tutorials are very generously detailed. Keep up the excellent work !!!

   Michelle, Wow I have just discovered you lately and I just have to say you inspire me! You take stamping to a new level. Thank you so much for sharing your techniques with those of us who are intermediate stampers with hopes to refine our skills. You are a talented artist and obviously a generous soul for sharing with the masses such striking techniques.

    I am so glad you have started a blog! SCS is a R&R Sundae for me. The beauty you create is the cherry on top! Your paintings, and cards as well, cause me to reflect on the beautiful scenes taken for granted daily as we traverse through our hectic lives.

    Ducky Day comes to life for me. I see a bubbly little 3 yr old blonde I know called Katy. I can see her barefoot and bibbed, sitting beside our pond with a little finger to her lips saying Shhhhh!, struggling to sit quietly still, but not wanting to miss a minute of the action in front of her..Then jumping up, bursting into giggles of excitement when she can’t hold it any longer! Katy personifies the simple beauty in life…Your work does too. Thanks for taking me there…

    Just wanted to let you know how beautiful your work is. I have looked at many blogs and I must say you have really helped me tremendously because you’re instructions are so clear and easy to follow.

    This has really boosted my confidence and I want to say thank you and God bless and keep you.

    What a gift you have. Thanks for sharing. I’ll be back again and again I am sure. Can’t wait to try some of your tutorials.

    Thanks!!!

    I was lead to your blog by a fellow stamper and am amazed at your creativity. Your paintings are calming and beautiful and I would love to have one on my wall……thank you for sharing.

23. # Kathyon 13 May 2008 at 10:08 pm

    Michelle, Your pastel paintings are amazing (like all your art). I look at them and keep thinking they are photographs. The texture that you achieve in fabric, wood and stone is incredible. It looks tactile, as though, if I could touch it, I would feel the texture. Thank you so much for sharing your techniques and talents so generously here and on Splitcoast.

24. # Shirleyon 28 Jun 2008 at 1:22 pm

    Hello Michelle, my daughter Robyn is a SU demonstrator here and she has a passion for stampin up which comes through in her classes. She saw your web site and excitedly passed it on to me right away. I can see why. My first love was drawing and then acrylic painting. I love your pastels and must admit pastels were the first thing I purchased from Stampin Up. I regret I have not spent time with them but now I will. You have inspired me to try my old hand again. I love the stamping and sometimes the old creative me appears and I surprise myself but I usually need inspiration from someone else these days. You are very very talented. Thanks for sharing it. God Bless, Heather

27. # Lynnoron 06 Aug 2008 at 11:54 am

    Michelle, your paintings are even more beautiful than your stamped work. I’ve read about the amount of time it takes to create one of these beauties, now I can see why…the detail is incredible!!!!

28. # Barbon 10 Aug 2008 at 4:25 am

    Hi Michelle,
    First of all I want to say that I am a definite admirer of you art.

    You are an inspiration to so many people and we are all best to share your talent.

    I am thinking about dusting off my pastels and oil pastels which have been sitting on the shelf for a long time.

    I am leaning toward oil pastels but and would love to find some tutorials on working with oil pastels?
    Do you have any available?
    Which do you prefer to work with, chalks or the oil pastels?

    I have a a couple of my oil paintings posted at the end of my blog. The subjects are typical of what I would want to create in oil pastels.

    Do you have any suggestions on a good quality paper to use?
    Any advice would be so greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Barb

    Michelle! I have been visiting your website for months, enjoying and learning from your tutorials. I just noticed today that you have buttons at the top of your page! :o) I admit that. I also love painting, in addition to stamping. You are sooooo talented!! Thank you so much for sharing and inspiring others! AND, then I read about the work you do. You are wonderful!! God Bless you my stampin’ sister!!

    Take care and STAY POSITIVE!!

    Michelle,
    I came across your blog a week or so ago, and since then I’ve been reviewing your tutorials, they are amazing. So detailed. And now that I’ve seen your paintings I understand why your cards are so beautiful. You are a ‘True Artist’.

    I always have such a hard time with ‘perspective’. I can’t seem to get it right. I’m hoping I’ll improve after practicing some of your tutorials. Thank you so much for sharing your talent. . . . God bless you. Claudia
    PS Your ‘Stacked Hippos’ made me laugh out loud! So cute!

31. # elaina fulleron 07 Sep 2008 at 8:38 am

    i like the look you paint, there is no hard edges, even in your still life picture. keep uploading them, they are a beautiful inspiration for our cards, and we see your even more than a card maker, which is also inspiring us. thanks for the tutorials alot.

    Hi Michelle,

    Even though I have visited your website so many times, and even though I have gone through every one of your tutorials, and even though I have drooled over your work in the gallery at splitcoast stampers, I am still so impressed, and still so moved by your beautiful work. However, I am just blown away by your generosity. You share so much and ask nothing for it. Thank you so much. I look forward to visiting your site every day, and it is always a pleasure to do so.

    I hope you and yours are well and happy.

    Wishing you only the best always,
    Mitzy

    Michelle, love your work and tutorials. Am so envious of those who get the opportunity to attend your classes. Do you come to Australia too?
    Thanks heaps for sharing, such a blessing to be able to view your tutorials and cards.

45. # Michelleon 06 Oct 2009 at 9:00 am

    Michelle,

    You artwork is truly amazing to say the least. I have been searching blogs for the past several days for inspiration and saw people asking “did you take one of Michelle’s classes?” After crusin’ about 50 different blogs, I finally came to yours. Now I know who they are speaking of when they say “Michelle”. You have certainly inspired me to experiment more with my brayer. My first attempt this morning didn’t fair very well, but I’m not going to give up! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your artwork and tutorials - they are priceless!
