I am a Canadian artisan who enjoys dabbling in many creative media, and I have an intense love for nature and fantasy. Most of my works feature mythical creatures and are very cheerful and pretty.

Currently my most popular item are my bitey fangdanas, a design of my own making and great for both conventions and adventures outdoors.

My favourite sculpting medium is polymer clay, which is what I use to decorate hardcover books with a sculpted relief image, which I shape by hand. Each sculpted image or texture is painted with hand-mixed acrylics and well-sealed with tough gloss sealant. I tend to make things that are colourful, rich and luxurious as gemstones, and use glass accents whenever possible.

I also enjoy making shrink plastic jewelry that I draw myself onto the plastic, mostly focusing on fantasy creatures such as dragons and other winged critters.

My newest dabbling is with crocheting warm, fuzzy animals and plants with yarn. I make up the pattern for them as I go along, and carefully pick the best yarns for the job.
