Creating

Art & Photography & More

Hello! I’m Mel

 

I create artwork + photographs + designs for fun and work.
(It’s pretty great).

I love action movies & romance novels (and especially both at the same time!) I wear many hats. Some of them are literal.

I’m powered by sunshine and coffee. I’m multi-craftual. I’m a maker at heart.

Jewelry / Note to Self

by | March 4, 2021 | Life | 0 Comments

I drape myself in talismans, imagery of strength, courage, peace, and harmony. Convince myself at length that if I find the formula, the secret, I’ll be safe from the monsters in my mind, their cruelty and hate. What else can I do in the face of all my demons but hold...
