Dotsi Morgan Hoffman- Creative Heart

Dotsi Hoffman

has an eye for beauty 

and hands that bring to life

what rests in the imagination

 of an artist.  

She shares bit of the story here:

"The dried flower wreath 

was made with Sweet Annie 

and hydrangea that I grew in my garden 

and accented with dried flowers 

I bought in a market in DC.

 Silk flower wreath for spring 

and all flowers came from Hobby Lobby.

 I made these wreaths from magnolia leaves

                           that I spray painted gold
                    and hot glued to cardboard circles.
                 Once the leaves dried out they began
           to curl up showing the lovely brown velvet side.
                     I added a B and J Black letters
                           to hang in center for 
                     Joseph and Brittnie’s wedding.

                                    Dried hydrangea from my garden

for a colleague who retired 

after 30 years of working in education. 

Dried hydrangea with some

 fresh flowers which are still pink. 

They dried nicely.

I enjoy making wreaths

 to hang on my front door 

but also to give away 

and most of the time

 the materials are cheap to gather,

 or free if grown in my garden.

I really do enjoy making crafts 
and crafting things to brighten my home
 but my favorite relaxing activity 
is digging in the garden!

Dotsi and her husband, Fred,
 live out their calling by serving at
 Point of Grace Lutheran Church
 in Cornelius, North Carolina. 
Thanks for sharing your creative heart!
