Years of making
I can remember my Papa guiding my hands delicately around a scroll saw blade as we made various little figurines until he bought me my first tool box for my seventh birthday. I’ve certainly made more than figurines in the 20+ years since then, but I sometimes still feel his hands guiding me as I work a piece to become something beautiful.
I learned art from an older brother, and i learned to design and thing in terms of relationships, measurements, and form in high school.
I made jewelry in college to get extra spending money, and started blacksmithing at a historical faire to impress a girl. I Learned basic electronics to learn how to repair MP3 players in middle school. My mother taught me to crochet and sew with a machine, after the Boy Scouts taught me how to sew by hand. I can't think of any phase of my life where i haven't been making something.
Now it's time to take all these little things i've made, show them to the world, and see who's interested.
