look what i can do...

This is a wallet I made for my little sister not too long ago, I really like the texture of this leather. I am always happy when I can incorporate the raw edge of the leather, which I was able to do in the flap of this wallet. And I definitely need one of these burl wood boxes, the one pictured belongs to my dad.

i ♥ oregon

I recently returned from a trip up to Oregon, I spent the first half of my trip in Portland and the last in my hometown of Keizer. I love Oregon for so many reasons, one of them being that I always manage to find treasures at el cheapo prices! Here are my favorites from my visit....
    
 stamped copper bracelet

my first saltillo blanket, my friend araby collects these, so pretty!

Vintage Inspiration

Yowza....this bag is amazing! It has it all....antler, wood, fur, snakeskin and turquoise....it is a hippie masterpiece. 
Reminds me that I want to learn how to embed turquoise into leather. Into the workshop I go.
