Just finished carving and hand-painting this little songbird!
Carved from wood and hand-painted. Loved bringing out the details in the feathers!

I’ve always been inspired by nature, and lately I’ve found myself paying more attention to the small details of plants that are easy to overlook.
This time, I chose rosemary.
Instead of simplifying the design into a generic leaf pattern, I wanted to keep the long, slender shape and the slightly irregular way rosemary grows. Every leaf was shaped individually and assembled by hand, which took much longer than I expected, but I felt those little details were worth preserving.
One of my favorite parts of making jewelry is trying to translate something living into metal without losing its character. I don’t want the finished piece to look perfectly symmetrical—I want it to feel like a small sprig that could have been picked straight from a garden.
This ring is part of a botanical-inspired series I’ve been exploring, and I already have a few more plants in mind for future pieces.
If you could turn any plant into a piece of jewelry, what would you choose?

This project pushed me to the limits of my patience and skill. Mostly hand brushed with a bit of masking + airbrush to finalize the details, I wanted to give a final push before welcoming our first child in late August. Enjoy this picture of me exhaustedly smiling next to the piece plus some detail shots. The painting is 48x60in.

I have made these wall key holders using ceramic paste and acrylic colors.
I hope you like it! 💕

I finished this strange little needle-felted spider today. It has a mask-like face, too many eyes, and long black-and-white legs—creepy, but somehow still a little cute.
Would you let it live on your desk, or would you immediately move to another house? 🕷️

This was the final stage after the lotus had already been assembled. I used the flame to make a few last adjustments and set the shape. The tricky part was keeping the petals light and curved without losing the smoky, ink-wash effect.

She is made of soft cotton velour and feels incredibly nice to touch. Her tiny size makes her the perfect little companion to tuck into a pocket, take on outdoor adventure

These are all acrylic on canvas paintings in various sizes. They were each painted for someone so these images are just shared for fun. I love anything that shimmers and sparkles so these were very rewarding and satisfying to make ✨️🥳🎨✨️

I made leather bag charms from premium leather and turn it into small canvas for fur babies 🎨

This piece carved on vegetable-tanned leather. The design is first hand-tooled into the surface to create the details and expression. The raised effect is achieved using a relief embossing technique from the back, which gives the portrait more depth and dimension. After the carving and forming process, I hand-painted the piece using leather pigment paints, layer by layer, to bring out the colors and expression.
