I love to do a variety of crafts and make my own jewelry and accessories. I have been crafting since I was a child and out of self defense as a large woman who likes to create costumes and doesn't fit standard sizes.
I'm currently enrolled in North Seattle Community Colleges Certificate of Fine Art: Jewelry Design program - learning metalworking.
Select items of mine can be found in the Ventures: Gifts For Good store in the "Down Under" part of the Pike Place Market.
I am learning to use a sewing machine and make my own costumes (Universe help me - because I needed MORE space taken up by craft/sewing supplies).I continue to take classes to learn new skills. I like to experiment & push myself and continue to work on improving my technique.
Plans for 2012 (that have been confirmed) include:
Emerald City ComiconMarch 30th & 31st and April 1s
