I recently admired a hair accessory I saw at a local store, Gorin Bros. made out of finch feathers. So, you can imagine my delight, when I found a variety of feathers including peacock, at the fabric shop, Britex, in San Francisco. I quickly set about to make my own version of the clip at 1/3 the price. I used a hot glue gun to attach a basic sectioning clip to the back of the feather. Ta da! Now you can easily make a simple ponytail look sophisticated. Maybe it's time for me to set up an Etsy page?

Cards and Correspondence
In our digital world where we can communicate instantly with loved ones, it still feels special to receive hand made objects in the mail. I like spending time thinking about my friends and family and corresponding through letters and art. I have started to collect notes about what I make so I can keep track of the different sayings, graphic design layouts and creative elements that emerge as a result of this process. For me, it is playful and fun and I am usually surprised by what comes out.
