Just a little summer craft project. These fellows were hand molded from air dry clay and painted with nothing more than inexpensive acrylics after. #handmade #sculpture #garden #mushrooms

An old book from my childhood that I repurposed to use as commonplace notebook. I'm still pretty proud of how the spine turned out. #handmade #bookmaking #bookarts

An old commission for a friend that was gifted to her partner on their anniversary. The request was for a painting of their characters in their latest campaign within the Pathfinder universe. It's been a while since I've done anything this ambitious. #commission #watercolor #painting

Another repurposed sketchbook from last Christmas that was gifted to the sister of the baby book's recipient. She lives on the east coast and loves to hike, so this old Nat Geo book about the Apalachian trail was a good fit. #bookarts #bookmaking #handmade

With any project, I like to incorporate original pages into the new signatures. And with illustrations like this, how can I not?
