About few years ago, I started down the arts & crafts rabbit hole. My main media are glass, chainmaille, and beading, but I've also dabbled with leatherworking and other fabric & yarn crafts. My recent work can be seen on my Instagram, and a few pieces are sometimes for sale on my Etsy shop.
A few of my pieces were featured at the Sonoran Glass School's Student Showcase in September 2017 and at the 2018 Art of Planetary Science show. Below are few examples of my work, including necklaces I designed and created, various glass pendants and marbles, and other miscellaneous items that I like (descriptions included in the images' alt/title texts).
Oh, and I also love traveling, so I couldn't help including some of those photos too :)
