I post in progress photos of my work and picture collages of things that have been inspiring me recently. Since I also work in theatre as a set builder I may occasionally post pictures of what we’re working on in the shop.

Donating time for a good cause

This January after I finished my season at ACT and before I became too pregnant to do building work I was lucky enough to be offered a temporary position as a properties artisan at The Seattle Children’s Theatre. My contract covered one show called “A Single Shard”. This play is set in 12th Century

A rare political post

I have very strong feelings about politics but I’m one of those people who believe politics and religion are not polite conversation so in general I don’t write publicly about them. This February however I had the opportunity to take on a commission that speaks directly to a political cause I feel v

An announcement after a long silence.

Looking at the date of my last blog post makes me feel a bit sheepish, it’s been almost a year since I had time and content to post. Last season at the theatre was a hectic one and personal/family concerns left me without a lot of energy to document our builds. Now that the news is public and we’re

The ties are finally here!

It took a lot longer to get labels made for my ties than I expected it to be, partially due to the first shipment of labels being stolen off my porch! However after a long wait I have finally posted the first set to my Art Fire storefront. Please check it out! …

News Roundup

I know there are a number of you who are probably wondering what is up with the tie delay! I promised I’d have them up for sale before Valentine’s Day and yet… It turns out nothing is ever as simple as I think it’s going to be. I did get a few direct requests for ties on a time line and I got those

Sunday Productivity

Today was a whirlwind of activity. This morning Nick and I made our final goodbyes to the old studio in Ballard, and paid a bonus visit to the Ballard Farmer’s Market as a reward for finishing our cleaning early. Then we stopped by the art supply store and I bought some chipboard to use as a backing

For My Valentine

Perhaps you remember the vintage style peek-a-boo ties I made for the boys in our wedding. I’m hoping you do, and I’m also hoping you were wondering to yourself “How can I get one of those ties?” because I’m about to start production of a limited run that will be finished in time for Valentines Day.

Moving House

I’ve been quiet here for far too long! When the season ended at ACT I was swept up in some grand changes that kept me too busy to post. The most obvious of those to viewers online is the change in format for this site. My friend Josh very kindly transferred my entire site from iWeb into WordPress. T

A bloody business indeed

Our last show this season is The Lieutenant of Inishmore by Martin McDonagh. This play is a gleefully ghoulish black comedy about the fact that even monsters love their moggies. It’s violent, difficult, and if you like your humor dark it’s hilarious, but if several gallons of stage blood and salty I
