I have been making things ever since I can remember, taught by my grandmother, parents & some very creative teachers! I love taking vintage & found items, combining them with new ‘stuff’ to give them a new life. I have been inspired by those grade school craft classes (gotta love those collages) & stories of the past, how people ‘made do’ & re-used things instead of buying not so available new things.
