misc. make | gouache beaded necklace.
I’ve been into making jewelry of late. It’s kind of this groove I am in–peyote beading, painting wooden beads, earrings. I’ve even opened a new shop, which only features this side of my making.

succulents + gouache.
Sean and I have been messing more and more with gouache painting. Last Saturday, we decided to pain some succulents + cacti.

pizzas.

Painting my youth…
When I was in high school and college, I was much more into art and painting than I am these days. During summer at age 19, 20, 21, I’d take art classes at the institute and dive into paint mediums like gouache. I like using the tube of black, which all of my art professors […]
