About me

I'm a 25 year old artist from Media, PA (suburb of Philadelphia). I make pretty much anything if I can get my hands on the supplies, but crochet, sculpting, and jewelry making are my three favorites. I've always been artistically-inclined; in school I took as many art classes as I was allowed, and eventually found my niche in pottery. However, college (and being poor after college) got in the way of that, and it wasn't until recently that I was able to buy my own pottery wheel. I'm hoping to get a kiln in the near future, but until then, I'm just practicing with oven-dry and air-dry clay. I've come into using polymer clay late in life, but I'm having a blast mixing in powders and sculpting.

I've been making jewelry pretty much all my life, starting with those plastic beads I made into necklaces for my sister and mom. I've only gotten really into it recently, though, so I'm learning how to work wire as I go along.

And as for crocheting, it's only been about three years since I was taught the single stitch (by a lefty, which was interesting!). I've been teaching myself other stitches from books and experimenting.

I'm a geek who loves literature (renaissance brit lit and fantasy are my favorite genres), Old English, Renfaires, dungeons and dragons, cats, gardening, and Celtic rock.

My muses are my wonderful fiancé and my cat (who keeps me company everyday and "helps" by taking over my lap while I'm trying to crochet).
