Making a lake pigment from natural sources - this time a red cabbage, my personal favorite for making a brilliant ultramarine blue. Using simple chemistry to precipitate a solid from a liquid solution makes me feel like I'm brewing a potion in a cauldron.

Creating new art is a wonderful escape from life stress.
Each pair of earrings are two halves of the same maple seed samaras (helicopter/twirlers). I love how resin magnifies the veins and details inside the samara. Nature makes the best art.

50 Red clay paint pots and a small Terracotta bowl. Getting ready for a backyard kiln firing. I love using sustainable materials for my handmade paint.

Water soluble color sticks (very similar to conte crayons) are incredibly versatile. My travel kit always includes a small rainbow set, and often replaces my watercolors as a quick tool for plein air art.

Already have paint colors you love? Try using a palette made from driftwood. Each one is unique, and the wood guides the placement of the wells. I love making these and believe every artist deserves to have beautiful tools. (link in bio)

There is nothing like the smell of fresh paint in the morning. My paints smell of spice and cloves every time you activate them. Find your Chance palette in my shop and experience the aroma for yourself. Happy Painting!

Hello bluesky! I am a paintmaker and art generalist. I produce art supplies made with quality materials. Please take a look at my most recent addition to my product line: watercolor sticks! Meant to be used like a water soluble conte crayon.
