There's an old proverb, "been there, done that, got the t-shirt." I used to wear t-shirts from places that I'd been, or bands that I loved. Now I love wearing shirts that show my suppor...

I think I’ve found the perfect piece of wood! This will become a staff. It will be an additional component in my costume design for “Coyote”!

I think my vision of the coyote project has been somewhat vague.
I created this video to shed some light on the matter.

Furthering my work on jewelry elements! An arrangement of amber, garnet, coyote teeth, and a center piece of moldavite. They’ll hang from sinew, which I braided for strength. The moldavite is not...

The women who came before me must surely have had their moments of fun. Imagine with me, if you will, that the aunties have snuck off privately to gossip and smoke!
