Best job was as a full time seamstress for a fabric store making display samples at a Beverly Fabrics store in Ventura, CA. Unfortunately due to lease problems, the store closed.

Restaurant manager, professional artist, web designer, craft materials designer.

The last was particularly fun - designing craft projects and tutorials for people who were interested in the creative possibilities of polymer clay and all the related materials. Sculpting, jewelry, home decor, dolls - you use a lot of different skills and materials with polymer.
