just for fun

making things, just because

The projects I make on my own time, usually with my hands, usually for no reason other than the joy of it.

Silver, solder, a lot of filing

Silversmithing

My introduction to the Product Realization Lab, learning to cut, solder, and finish silver into pieces I actually wear.

Digitizing software and thread

Machine Embroidery

Drawing a design, digitizing it, and stitching it out. Somewhere between graphic design and textile craft.

Hoop, needle, patience

Hand Embroidery

Slow, meditative stitching by hand, the analog counterpart to everything else I make.

Yarn, one loop at a time

Crochet

Wearables and little gifts, usually started the night before somebody’s birthday.

Flour, water, time, patience

Sourdough

I became a sourdough aficionado this summer, mastering the art and the science of keeping a starter alive. Loaves, cinnamon rolls, English muffins, and whatever else the discard could become.

Acrylic and no brief

Painting

Painting for the pure pleasure of color and composition, with nothing due at the end of it.

Photos of all of this are coming, most of it currently lives in a drawer or on somebody else’s wrist.
