But I didn’t record the process — at times, because no one did, and later because I didn’t have the confidence.

I wish I had process videos for these pieces. But I don’t, so the photos will have to do. I hope you like them too!

When I was in college, my teachers told me to document, but I treated it like a chore. Years later, there are so many pieces I wish I had photos of, and so many more that I wish I’d recorded like we do now.
