Today's diary entry ✨ 12.17.25 ✨

I made the Pokemon journals a permanent addition to the shop. I had so much fun creating the first batch and they sold out so quickly. At my Halloween market, someone mentioned that the local game store had a box of loose cards for 10 cents a piece. Obviously, I had to check it out and sure enough they had a whole box filled. My guess is that they come from people buying packs looking for a specific card and not wanting to keep the rest. One man's junk is another woman's treasure ✨ My previous Pokemon collection was made with cards I found on the ground. It was soooo much fun being able to pick out which cards I wanted to use. Of course, I bought all the cute Pokemon they had to offer. These have been a huge hit and I can't wait to make more for next year ✨💫✨

I got asked to create a guest book for a gallery show this year. This is how you secretly enter into a gallery show because technically this is my art. I am so happy that they thought of me and I'm so happy with how it turned out. All they asked was that I used the same font as their flyers. I had creative freedom to design the rest as I wished. I must have tossed the inside photos but the end papers are this pretty white cardstock with pastel colored snowflakes 🌨️ I would love it if next year I get to make more guest books for people's special days ✨💖✨ I also drew the snowflakes ❄️

I haven't posted in forever and I meant to post to this regularly to showcase my work and the parts I love about the creation process. So please take these pictures of my most recent work as an apology 😅

When I saw these beads I immediately thought "ransom letters". It just reminded me of the random magazine letter cut outs used in movies. I'm sure I'll make more covers but this was the first one I made ✨

Today's update ✨ 02.12.25

I learned a new binding style the other day and forgot to post pictures. I love making miniature journals when I'm testing out new styles. That way I'm not wasting a ton of material if I mess up. It came out pretty ok, if I do say so myself. I won't lie, this style had me stumped for a hot minute. I really didn't think the hinge was going to work properly but I trusted the process and it came out fine. I made this entirely just by looking at a book I had in my collection that had a leather hinge but paper covers. I really loved how the leather came up on top of the covers and wanted to recreate that. This is what I mean when I say I'm self taught 😅 I saw that book and really said "I bet I can figure out how to do that"

I will say that working with construction paper that small was no easy task. It did not want to fold quite right with a signature of 10, as you can tell by my wonky ass papers 😂

Today's diary entry ✨ 08.06.25 ✨

I don't think I posted about my rib cage journal on here but that's what sparked this journal series that I made.

Earlier this year I bought a bag of bones from a local taxidermist. I had this idea of sewing rib bones onto a journal cover and it came out sooooo good! It's already been sold to its new home!!! Buuuuttt that bag had other bones too and I wasn't sure what to do with them at first.

I ended up making some cute books and bones terrariums, which have been a hugeeee hit at local markets and hopefully soon on Etsy. I also made these smaller bone journals just to have some fun! It was a bit more of a challenge getting these into the press without breaking the bones than the rib bones but it worked.

It's work like this that I am the most proud of. Don't get me wrong, I love upcycling old books into new journals but being able to create one of a kind journals just from ideas in my head means so much more to me. It really is magical to see a sketch come to life and to create something most have never seen ✨🥰✨
