First ever BLOG POST!


Since I’ve dropped out of college, with only a part time job, people keep asking me; “what are you DOING with all your free time?” I often times have to take a minute to recall what I’ve been filling my days with; although they’re packed, it’s challenging to describe how I’m spending them. Usually it’s a combination of drinking lots of coffee, being inspired, fabricating earrings, collecting antiques, photographing said antiques, researching said antiques, and studying blogs and Etsy forums until I’m dizzy.

So instead of boring people with that awful lengthy list which barely scratches the surface of my day to day life, I figured a I’d start a blog. Hopefully this will show the world what I do, as well as document it for myself. I plan to center it on my “studio” which doubles as my living space. It's covered with my projects, inspiration, motivational quotes, and notes; and happens to overlook the Missoula mountains you see in my banner.

I’ll try being more visual than wordy here. I’m an artist and therefore a visual thinker, and believe that ideas can often be expressed better through pictures, sketches, or videos.

Also I'd love feedback in any form from those who take time to check up on me through this site, so please comment and discuss what I post.

A brief synopsis of my latest Finds and Creations:
 
A Foraged vintage World Classic Replogle Globe
                Hand Made Vintage Button Earrings 
Retro books copyright of 1962 












        Part of my Bicycle Bit collection. They're made with used bike parts, and I sell them at Upcycled
