My Bio

I am one lucky lucky girl! I adore crafting of all sorts, like (ok, here's a short list): Knitting (by hand and by machine) Marbling Paper and Silk Punch Needle Embroidery Calligraphy and Illumination Origami Micro-Macrame Beading Sewing Costumes Making Hats Bookbinding ...just to name a few. I used to work in the film and theater industries as a wardrobe mistress, special props builder and set decorator and was often called upon to create things like a revolving gondola-shaped lamp with scenes from the Grand Canal of Venice watercolored on the shade, or a very worn 17th century Grimoire complete with spells and incantations (faked, of course!) or a costume for a flea who decides to leave his dog because he hates the dog's flea collar.
