I will be in amazing company this weekend!
I’m heading to Norfolk, Virginia this weekend for Bayou Bon Vivant with the Louisiana Crafts Guild!
I’ll be bringing hand-drawn surreal storybook art, prints, tarot-inspired pieces, books, decks, and strange little relics from my current series, *The Unbelongings*.
Come find me May 15–17 and say hello if you’re at the festival. I’d love to send a few little ink creatures home with new people. 🖤

Some stones just know they belong together.
This custom pendant pairs a softly faceted half-moon turquoise with a glowing bumblebee jasper. Turquoise has long been associated with protection, grounding, and honest communication. Bumblebee jasper carries all the energy of fire, courage, creativity, and forward motion.
Together, they feel like sky meeting flame.
I kept the fabrication simple with hand-formed silver bezels, fine silver framing, and a sterling long-and-short chain that lets the stones tell the story. One of my favorite things about custom work is watching someone choose stones that somehow already understand each other.
