When I plant my gardens in the spring, I do so knowing that I am growing fall decor. I love visiting a good pumpkin farm, but I have a hard time spending money on decorations that I can grow. I love decorating with natural products that I harvest, an...

I had intended to write this post a lot sooner, but thank you to endometriosis, I have been in miserable amounts of pain the last two weeks. Usually the only thing that distracts me from pain is creating with my hands, this time all I could do was be...

I was hauling out all my pots out of the shed, and I got a little too excited. I grabbed a ceramic one by the top edge, rookie move, and it cracked. A huge chunk taken out of the side, but the rest seemed in tact. I could have tossed in in the trash,...

As the season transitions to spring and summer, my art form changes into living materials. There is nothing better than smelling dirt, having my hands in the dirt, and taking all my energy outdoors and giving it back to the earth. During a yoga class...

It confuses people at my various interests, I have been told by so many to narrow it down, and how it confuses some. I refuse to limit myself for anyone, I love making anything and everything. Simple as that. On my website I sell jewelry and copper, ...

I had a woman contact me about making her a swan in the style of my hanging driftwood fish. I gladly accepted, and since I know her and she knows my process, I didn't give her a timeline. I figured it would be an easy project to work on, and to my su...

I decided to use a bunch of copper I had collected a few years back. I wanted to clean it up and find a new purpose for it. It was a fairly messy job to clean it all, and cut it to size, hammer it flat, and ended up having smaller pieces. I had spoke...

I have always been a gardener and lover of plants and flowers. I worked in the floral industry for 15 years, starting as a shop clerk, plant care, and became a floral designer. I worked on daily designs, funerals, and weddings. The only thing I didn'...

I have always loved flowers of any kind, but after receiving a necklace before my wedding back in 2008, I really feel in love with the simplicity of cherry blossoms. I even chose the cherry blossom for my wedding invitations. I always gravitate towar...

As a child, our family embarked on summer adventures to the rugged landscapes of Upper Michigan. Amidst the pine-scented forests and shimmering lakes, there existed a hidden gem: Copper Harbor in Keweenaw County. To me, it was more than a place—it wa...

After doing a number of in person shows, I see two specific types of people. One type sees a bracelet that they like the look of, and the other will ask which one is for, example, anxiety. I never really followed what each type of stone does what, ma...

I spent a day collecting driftwood on Lake Michigan to make some wall hangings, but I had two birthdays coming up. I decided to make my mother in law a driftwood fish wall hanging, and wasn't sure how to make that happen. I sketched out a patter...

I visited family in Bozeman Montana a few years ago. I came home with a refreshed outlook on life, a five gallon bucket of rocks and fossils, and this gorgeous wood plank that I fished out of a creek. My husband didn't bat an eye as this is not unusu...
