D's Ardent gifts offers lovely candles and pottery

D's Ardent Gifts on ArtFire.com opened 2-2-09.  Her Studio Announcement reads: "Hi folks! I am a big fan of mud and smelly things! ;-) I have been taking pottery classes for the past 5 semesters and have really been enjoying my time in the studio. I have also been making bath and body products for almost 10 years. I love creating things that smell good; memories and emotions are so strongly tied to scents, so I love playing around with scent combinations. I hope you enjoy browsing through my creations! Thanks for stopping by!"

She says "I live in a quirky little mining town in Arizona. I love the history and flavor of the area. :-) I also love making pottery and candles, both of which involve fire, so I thought artfire was the perfect avenue for sharing two of my favorite things with you!"
