I have always loved the arts of all kinds. When I was young my Mom chose day care and summer camps that had my 2 loves: crafts and horses. I learned to ride when I was 3 years old (bought my own horses at 20) and began exploring more advanced fiber arts and enameling in the 4th & 5th grades. Since then I have pursued a degree in metals & jewelry design at the Cleveland Institute of Art. I began dyeing fabric, wool and yarn for a minor in fiber and used the elements of those processes and found ways to apply them to metal techniques creating a unique style that I then had to opportunity to teach to others. For more of my background information, see my linkedin profile.
I am currently dabbling as an engineer wannabe using a laser cutter and other industrial equipment to make knitting tools and accessories. I am also focusing part of my creative energy on dyeing yarn and fiber for knitting as well as custom crafted colorways for skeins of yarn. In the future I will be adding custom dyed fabrics for quilting and sewing related crafts, custom colorways of wool batts and exotic fibers for spinning & felting. Be on the look-out!
I have an eStore at etsy.com with custom fibers and jewelry supplies. If you are looking for beads, unique wool blends, stitch markers, knitting needles, crochet hooks, yarns, and more please stop by.
