Howdy!

I’m Emerald Jack and I’m glad you found your way here!

About me

Since childhood I’ve had a predilection for appreciating things of beauty and wonder, especially art and nature.  Various creative pursuits carried out over a lifetime helped me explore my place in this world.  As a youth, I was a voracious reader and a prolific writer whose imagination was ruled by poetry and prose.  Well into adult life, I became a crafter and amateur artist.  Expressing myself through creative pursuits, indulging in as many modalities of the arts as possible, and continually expanding my intellectual and artistic horizons are and will continue to be the avenues of my personal fulfillment in life.

Tell-Tale Creations

Tell-Tale Creations is the name under which I explore and share my creative endeavors.  My focus is on creativity as the catalyst for authentic self expression.

Throughout my life I found that creating and appreciating things of beauty is necessary to my happiness.   I partake of the arts in all its forms every day. I am most engaged in paper crafting, mixed media art, writing and reading poetry and prose, collecting and researching quotations, letter writing, and meaningful human connection.

Card Making

Through paper crafting, I discovered a niche realm of visual arts that fills a special creative space in my life.  My main joy in paper crafting is making greeting cards.  Unique and handmade greeting cards bring lovely moments of joy to recipients.  This craft has changed the way I regard the objects around me, allowing me to see a host of previously unimagined value in them as resources for creation and connection.  I’m glad to create small things of pleasure to share with others.
