So I’ve been a busy making this fall. It’s been a while since I’ve posted or since I’ve been involved with any social media. A few weeks ago I made walnut ink with my son from wild walnuts that we scavenged and collected. I’ve wanted to do it for years but never went through with […]

I joined Dalvero Academy on a trip to Mystic Seaport again and this time we had the pleasure of drawing the Mayflower. Replica of course but it’s lovely none the less.
