Etsy Store and Facebook Page

I have been on a pretty good groove restocking my ETSY STORE with new art and a few pieces that I brought over to Hawaii with me and need to let go of to make room for all the new stuff that is in the almost done stages. Take a look you might see something you like! Also, if you didn't know I now have a dedicated Facebook Chongolio Page. Some blink on over and if you are into it click the like button.

The Sunshine Bow Vlog #2



Here are the links I mentioned that will help you get started making Diddley Bows and creating loops with your iphone and ipad!

Please remember that THIS IS NOT A TUTORIAL. There are tons of pages online that will get you started just do some searches and poke around. I am just showing you how I figured out how to make all this stuff work for me. If you have questions, feel free to ask. If I know the answer I will get back to you. Also, don't hesitate to share your discoveries and sounds with me either here or on Youtube or on my Facebook page. Hit the like button if you are so inclined:
