Artist Bio: Aimee was born in New York and raised on the Southern Outer Banks of North Carolina. With a love for the ocean and the wild life that inhabits the coast she decided to name her business after her nickname for sea gulls, which is Beach Chickens. Aimee has been creative and crafty as far back as she can remember. Living on the beach and taking daily walks to collect “treasure”, she started making sculptures out of the random objects that she found and sold them at an art gallery in Beaufort, NC. Moving to Boise, Idaho changed where Aimee would find her “treasure”, she now looks to thrift stores and recycling bins. In every item created she includes re-used or recycled materials. Her most popular items are vintage book journals and upcycled jewelry.
Why I am a member of IIW - I became a member of Idaho Indie Works to meet other artists in the Boise area. When I joined I was new to doing craft shows and they helped me learn about the scene. Every time I am with the team they amaze me, they are just a great group of talented people.
Description of item - These Upcycled Earrings are made out of a plastic bottle and have glass beads hanging from them.

I love the summer sunset earrings http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=41274816 They are very cool! And I really like the Ramona Forever journal, but I'm a little sad that one of my favorite childhood books is now considered "vintage".
I hope I win. And I'm glad to now know what a beach chicken is. : ) cherwisdomfreer.etsy.com
I love all Aimee's items but especially the monkey in the rocket journal as my husband and I collect all monkey things and love Curious George. I also like the earrings I am going to win! :)

I LOVE the vintage "Bedtime Stories" album cover! I'm doing a big breast cancer fundraiser in May and would use it for an auction item! Thanks for the opportunity!
Everyone needs a "Dream Boy"! I love the Dream Boy Journal. Reminds me of high school and feeling all dreamy about that special guy.

I just wanted to make sure Amy knows how awesome she is!!! I have several vintage journals and I love them all. I can't wear earrings, so I'm not an "official" entry.
I'm an avid note-taker, list-maker, journal-keeper and can't wait to use up what I have so I can come back for the "Instant Ancestor" journal! (I'm apparently in the dark ages - can't get MY google account to show, just my son's! This is actually amberdn@gmail.com, not David!)
