If all goes according to plan (when does it ever?) I will be posting projects that I am working on, as well as new vintage & artsy craftsy items that I am posting for sale on etsy. I also hope to impart any helpful techniques or info that I come across in my art explorations. I am an avid collector of vintage items. I see myself as one part conservator and one part mad scientist as I am motivated by the need to perserve uncommon items from the past as well as combine vintage items into mixed-media assemblage and upcycled useful items. I will endeavor to post something new at least once a week, so stay tuned for new stuff!
Below are some pictures of items that I will be posting for sale in the coming week:
