Nevermore
First started making these earring with thought of my love of the two colors black and red together. After I assembled them, all I could think of was "Nevermore". Below is The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe, which now always comes to mind when I see these earrings. The Raven…
Tree Spirits
A little fan art for a little spirit. I watched Princess Mononoke last weekend and loved rediscovering it. Tree spirits, the sign of a healthy forest. *sigh* Materials: Page from a book falling apart, Faber-Castell Pitt artist pens, Derwent watercolour pencils, Derwent Sketching (dark wash), Derwent Aquatone

Reason, Season or Lifetime
Last night I was idly sketching, thinking about friendships past and present. How some people quickly cross paths and some for longer journeys. There was a certain poem I was looking as I thought about all those relationships and how some had faded away or even cut away. I came…
