Edie Darlene Creations | Passion for Painted Furniture

LET'S CONNECT

Hello, it's nice to meet you! My name is Edie Darlene, and I love old, crusty, rusty things. Sometimes, I find treasures that are perfect as they are, while other times, I give them new life with a little facelift. I'm here to help you envision how to achieve those new looks.

I started my crafting journey in the early 90's.

We were going to take a family Christmas picture, and we thought it would be fun to have matching sweatshirts. I went to work cutting, ironing on the designs, and using puffy paint to outline the designs. Boy, I was proud of that project! After that, I started small projects painting furniture. It was fun to give outdated items a new look!

My creative path took a new turn in 2011 when I became a Licensed Nail Technician.

Transitioning from large canvases to the tiny art of nails, I discovered a new form of expression and connection. My clients weren't just customers; they became family. However, after nine fulfilling years and the sudden loss of my father, I faced a period of heartbreak and creative block. It took a year to find my way back, starting with small projects to reignite my creative spark.

Today, my past experiences fuel my current creations.

I find joy in upcycling discarded items and giving them a new lease on life. More than just crafting, it's about building a community where creativity is for everyone. My goal is to help others discover their creative side, spread joy, and share smiles. I believe in the power of a smile and the warmth it brings.
