About Me

I am a 25 year old artist living in Chicago, with my boyfriend, 2 cats, 2 handicapped goldfish, lots of green babies, and a vast sea monkey graveyard.

I am a junk pack rat, an antique collector, a thrift store scavenger, and year round alley lurker. I collect vintage fabric and sewing supplies, weird kitschy things, beads, charms, and plastic everything. Take a look at my portfolio for visuals of the type things I make and collect.

Favorite Music

Johnny Cash, Jerry Wallace, Johnny Burnette, Marty Robbins, Old 97's, etc.

Favorite Books

Crafts, Whales and Whaling, Cacti and Succulents.

Current Reading: The Dead Beat: Lost Souls, Lucky Stiffs, and the Perverse Pleasures of Obituaries by Marilyn Johnson

Favorite Movies

Any cheesy predictable horror movie.

Current Favorite: Bluebeard (1944)

Favorite Television

Anything narrated by Sir David Attenborough.

Current Favorite Attenborough: The Secret Life of Plants

Favorite Crafts

Embellishment, Embroidery, Beading, Knitting, Crocheting, I also make my own costumes (for my art) and I love making purses.

Allergies

I have a severe skin condition, I cannot wear any metal anything, If you're sending me jewelery please make sure it is beaded, plastic, or other non-metal natural materials. For this reason I do NOT have pierced ears, I can't wear them.
