I spent a very full Saturday with @karenachristians at @lowellmakes reinforcing and enhancing my soldering skills for jewelry. I learned a lot and look forward to practicing those joins! I eventually want to make some metal book covers.

Karen is a great teacher and I appreciate her putting up with my crazy performance anxiety. 🤣

If you have a makerspace near you, definitely check it out for the to tools, the education, and the community.

I promised I'd share why I was dyeing sheet music. Here it is! Centerpieces for my niece's grad party. She just got her master's degree in music education.

And Book Fiesta 2026 is in the books! Session 2 brought another delightful group of women who felt like family. We had fruity drinks with umbrellas, another birthday (quietly) celebrated, a cheesecake donut (iykyk), the official Book Fiesta playlist, an international guest, explosions of color, and a sea of laughter.

Thanks to the (almost) always delightful @bookartstudios , who brought her trademark joy, support, and creativity. She has become a good friend and I'll miss her until she returns!

Book Fiesta 2026 Session 1 has come to a close and I'm tired, but grateful. It was a full session with two birthday celebrations, a surprise guest, numerous trips to @theperagrill, some margaritas, painted hands, an ice cream run, and a ton of paper and gesso. I'm so appreciative of @bookartstudios and her generous spirit, as well as the creative brilliance of our attendees. Off to get some sleep before we welcome session 2!

Not a lot of art lately, as I've been trying to master some of my new maker tools. I finally set up my UV printer and learned that I can print on mylar. First balloon? A pride frog for my daughter.

Here's to a safe, loving, and supportive Pride month for the LGBTQIA+ community!

I haven't had a chance to do any editing, but we're recently back from a family trip to France. It was all inspiration, all the time. I can't wait to to play around with all the images!

Happy experiments and accidents! There is somethin

Happy experiments and accidents! There is something so satisfying about brushing ink and dye onto paper. I had a few play sessions recently where I just brushed/spritzed each sheet of paper with color, then stacked them in a foil tray to dry. Some of it came out as I expected, and some of it left me surprised in the very best way. [In full disclosure, one batch stuck together in a clump and is waiting for me to have the patience to soak and unclump it!]

I hope you have some magical making days ahead! It doesn't have to be fancy, it just needs to bring you joy.
