Embroidery samples 🌸 I digitized a photo of one of my brooches using @cwruthinkbox embroidery software and have been seeing how it works on my new machine. Thank you ThinkBox for making tools and tech accessible in NE Ohio 😊 🤖 🧵 #samples #embroidery #machineembroidery #newwork #maybe #wildflower #digitalfabrication #digitalfab
Raster engraving on acrylic to create textures before laser cutting and heat forming acrylic for new jewelry. Pure experimentation and fun not to know all the answers yet. Textures taken from photo edited moss and lichen at #haystackmountainschoolofcrafts in #deerislemaine ... more to come soon! #wip #lasercutting #rasterengraving #acrylic #canalplastics #castacrylic #castacrylicsheet #artjewelry #materials #studio #whatamimaking #snagmember
New tool for the studio: an embroidery machine! I had the chance to try one out @haystack_school in the #fablab and can’t wait to continue the experiment in my own studio 🧵 🔨 🌸 This machine purchase was made possible by the generous support of the @ohioartscouncil as I was awarded an Ohio Arts Council Individual Excellence Award for FY 2019. #newtools #embroidery #staytuned #studio #metalsmith #embroidereverything #snagmember

Knapweed pruning series progress, completed earlier in May. Hand cut aluminum, powder coat. I hope to water jet cut copies to explore additional forms and possibilities this summer! #sculpturetowear #artjewelry #bracelet #newwork #knapweed #wildflower #sculpturaljewelry #snagmember #aluminum #powdercoat
I feel so lucky and thankful to have spent time at @haystack_school during this year’s open studio residency. The time, place, and people were all amazing gifts that deeply impacted my studio practice! I’ll post images of some of what I worked on, but first enjoy some moss, lichen, and other beautiful things that need absolutely no filter 😂 🌲 💚🌿 #Maine #deerisle #deerislemaine #haystackmountainschoolofcrafts #artistinresidence
Another amazing experience collaborating with @jenramirezart 💛😊 ⭐️ We made this work for @snagmetalsmith #exhibitioninmotion2019 We got pretty into the theme of gold 😂 Materials: waterjet cut and powder coated aluminum, hand sewn ribbon leaves and flowers, crochet flowers, laser cut mirrored acrylic, quilted fabric. #eim2019 #snagmember #snagconference2019 #goldenrod #gold #mixedmedia #sculpturetowear #wearablesculpture #waterjetcut #powdercoat #crochet #quilting #collaboration #teamwork
