Hello 

Welcome to my creative portfolio

I'm Steph, self-proclaimed creative person with many different artistic pass times. Most of these pass times I have been working on or in for years now. Just recently my husband and I decided to try and make these creative endeavors into a small business so we can share our creations with our local market and the world.

​

For the last several years, I have gotten back into making jewelry and recently leather work. Both have infinite possibilities for design, the only thing that can limit that is the materials (lets face it, the really good stuff is pretty expensive right now). Being that supplies are expensive, I have had to think outside the box when it comes to creating anything and everything I've worked on recently.

​I started out drawing and playing music as a kid. My father was an exceptional artist, whether it was a technical drawing or a fanciful request from his daughter for a dog catching a frisbee with musical notes all around, his skills were memorizing. My grandmother's both played music, one piano, the other church organ. Between these 3 amazingly talented souls, I was inspired to be creative and have never looked back since.

​

Oddly enough, sometimes I make I see in a dream. Sometimes what I make is me trying to retool or embellish a design or style I've seen on TV, out in public and/or the internet. Sometimes its goofing around with materials and supplies or even organizing! I draw inspiration from everywhere I can. 

​

While I may use mediums that many others do right now, I try to stay true to my quirky sense of design, and do the best I can to create something that is unique. 

​

Sometimes what I make, or most times maybe, is not for everyone. I do believe that there is someone out there who will appreciate my work, someone who will say 'that speaks to me'. =0)

​

I invite you into my creative brain, by sharing my works below. I hope you enjoy!

Wall mounted Jewelry Storage

Wall mounted Jewelry Storage

With my husbands help on making frames, I created this wall hanging jewelry organizer. One in a series of 4 that I created.

Leather Craft

Leather Craft

Hand cut leather pouches, made with a craft cut and one with scrap leather. Intended to be used for pencils, they can be used for reading glasses and makeup brushes too.

Beginning Leather Craft

Beginning Leather Craft

The beginnings of the first leather purse I made. Using scrap leather and craft cuts, I had to meticulously cut all the pieces with a utility knife, then punch the stitch holes, 2-5 at a time. Detail work!

Finished Leather Craft

Finished Leather Craft

The assembled, finished purse (with an amazon bought strap).

Leather Western Inspired Handbag

Leather Western Inspired Handbag

The second leather purse I made. I used craft cuts for this one and made my own strap out of bolo tie leather... much better than the Amazon strap.

Viking

Made for a friend who shared the mutual love of Viking and Norse lore. The Celtic knotwork bead was taken from a broken bracelet the dangles are bead caps, repurposed.

Spring Flowers

Spring Flowers

These were and experiment with colors - pink and Picasso Seed beads and metal tube beads. I am not sure these came out how I imagined them. LOL

Summer Concert Fringe

Summer Concert Fringe

Made with the inspiration from feeling excited about going to a Summer concert - for me a once in a lifetime show featuring many good bands. They were eventually gifted to a wonderful lady who works on the 2nd floor at Shriners Hospital for Children.

Glass Dragon Fly

An experimental Dragon Fly pendant, inspired from an internet posting. I beaded it up a little more, of course.

Inspired by the mushroom trend that seems to be on the out LOL. My husband made the live edge bowl that my little diorama sits on.

Sun and Moon Engraving

Sun and Moon Engraving

One of the first images I engraved with my Cricut using some of the designs in Design Space. Not as cool as some of the others I've seen out there but I like it.

Scroll Saw McIntosh Rose

Scroll Saw McIntosh Rose

This was inspired by my love of Craftsman/Arts and Crafts Design. It was a hand traced template of the famous McIntosh Rose collection that I cut on my first Scroll Saw. I made it into a lightbox that sits on my night stand. Very proud of this one. It took time and patience for sure.

FBombs!

FBombs!

Scroll Saw cut F-Bombs. I made many of these at the suggestion of friends and family as gifts. These are just a few!

My Favorite Flowers

My Favorite Flowers

Inspired by my step-daughter's love of skulls. This drawing was done on terrible, cheap drawing paper, but I put the work in none the less. I REALLY loved working with the Prismacolor colored pencils, they had a rich, blend-able pigment that was really enjoyable to use. If you like making gradients with colored pencil, those are the best in my opinion.

Fimo Dragon

Fimo Dragon

Inspired by the little video clips of a lady making little Dragons out of clay that floated around on social media for a while during the pandemic.
