My biggest crochet project yet; I decided to make this bag when my sister crocheted me the moth (pattern here), so that I could sew it to the front of the bag as part of the flap. I used this pattern as the base shape, with the Primavera Flowers granny square and the Happily Ever crochet border along the flap. I also sewed a fabric lining with crochet pockets.

My second project with Heidi Wilkinson was this elaborate light-up lantern prop. The base was Styrofoam, with wooden dowels to maintain structure and durability. The panels and upper domes were Worbla, and once the shape was built I installed fairy lights to add some magic to this project. Inside the lantern, I sculpted mushrooms around the fairy lights out of foam clay, then painted it, added moss, and sculpted a tiny fairy with dried glue wings.

My goal for this project was to accurately replicate the look of a glove that had been outside in the snow for a while, and was just holding a snowball. I used silicone for an icy effect in places that would melt, like around knuckles, creases, and at the edges of the glove where the snow meets the skin. I layered water-activating instant snow crystals and fine ice crystals onto the palm, wearing the glove as I worked to get those realistic creases. I then dusted the glove in ice crystals and sealed everything with hairspray.

I made a 'Wolf Eyes' stencil out of acetate to replicate a t-shirt design from the film Monster (2003), costume designed by Rhona Meyers. I used this stencil for multiple samples: using devoré on velvet, discharge paste, and puff paint.

I designed this bag with multiple pockets and compartments to organize my sewing supplies if I needed to bring a project with me on the go. It was entirely made from thrifted bedsheets and scraps from other projects.
