What's on the worktable

always something new

This is where I share what I'm actually making and learning, from crochet and lettering to watercolor experiments and whatever I get curious about next. Some of it I've been doing for years and some of it I'm figuring out as I go, so expect the occasional questionable result alongside the ones I'm proud of. Lol!

Pull up a chair and watch along

These are short videos of projects coming together on my worktable, mistakes and all. You can press play right here on the page and keep looking around whenever you're ready.

Hand Lettering

YHWH Hand Lettering

lettering the name, slowly

A short film of an art journal page coming together from scratch — hand lettering the name YHWH and building the page around it, one quiet layer at a time.

the next one

I'll add new videos and photos here as I make them, whether that's a watercolor practice page or something that didn't go quite the way I planned.

Handmade crochet critters

A few little friends looking for a home

made one stitch at a time

Alongside everything else I'm learning in the studio, crochet is the one craft I've never really put down. I make small animals out of yarn — dinosaurs, barnyard friends, little bugs, and whatever else wanders into my head — and each one is worked up entirely by hand, so no two come out exactly alike. When one is finished I list it in my Ko-fi shop, which is where you can see the ones that are actually available right now and take one home with you.
