Why this blog
I decided to make this blog because of my passion for the design to build process. I hope my creative projects inspire others to create and document their creative projects, or at least try mine and then share.
How I got started
I spent several years designing and making leather jewelry. It was a very satisfying process, but when I had children I needed other things, a crib, and a renovated house. So, my husband and I used our talents and renovated our first home, and built our kids beds.
Skills
Over the years I have worked with so many materials that I never limit my scope. However, I love to work with wood for its texture and warmth. Concrete has offered an uniquely creative moldable source for my projects. While my use of metal has transferred somewhat from the jewelry days, I now use it most as a strength and fastening necessity, I hope to increase my use.
My husband and I share a desire to create and live in a modern rustic home with an industrial edge. This is my journey, our path, toward our creative world of wood, concrete and unique finishes.
