IN THE STUDIO

Let's see what happens

I like making things.

SOAP ON THE RACK

Always a batch curing somewhere

There is almost always a batch curing on the rack. Cutting it, labeling it, waiting the weeks out while it hardens into something usable.

Some batches come out clean and even. Some come out lopsided or crumbly, and I use those myself.

RIBBON AND WHATEVER'S LEFT OVER

Mending more than starting fresh

Most projects start with a pile of scraps and no real plan. A ribbon gets pulled out, a hem gets fixed, a piece gets kept because it might be useful later.

Plenty of it sits half-finished, and that is fine for now.

FLOWERS WORTH CUTTING

Whatever's blooming that week

A few stems from the garden or a bucket from the grocery store end up on the table, and I start arranging without much of a plan.

They always end up somewhere, on a shelf here or in someone else's hands.

STUDIO NOTES

Things I've caught myself thinking while the glue is drying


"Half-finished counts as in progress."

"The mistake is usually the best part."

"Nobody asked for this one. I made it anyway."


THE HAPPY ACCIDENTS

Half-baked ideas that stuck around

Most of what ends up here started as an idea I wasn't sure about. Some of it goes nowhere. Some of it turns into the thing I like best, and I never would have planned it that way.
