I started making jewelry from old fishing lures 25 years ago. Fishing lures evolved to found objects and old jewelry - remade. I strive to create something whimsical and unique with a sense of story. I have been working on journals for the past year and this project takes both of my passions and marries them in a complete sea of texture. Collections of old, unused paper, ephemera that is too full of history to toss out, even good old masking tape finds new life. I’m all about texture and I’ve been learning to love imperfection as the world becomes more perfect and less tactile.
