My latest Inspira bracelet is entitled “Plaça Reial” – after a famous plaza in the Barri Gòtic of Bacelona. I shot the plaza last fall. The bracelet is a different style than the others, to try and evoke more of the gothic/artsy vibe so intense in…
This weekend I was super stressed with trying to produce inventory for the show. After watching me cast on and rip out a project for the 5th time Tito suggested I take a break and go do some photography. I resisted of course, must…..work….harder! But…
This past Thanksgiving weekend we had one of the most spectacular autumn days I have ever seen. The combination of clear skies and bright, colourful foliage was a true gift. Add to that the warm, slanted, orange light so particular to autumn and you have…
Kiluea is an active volcano in the Hawaiian Islands. Last spring, my girlfriend and I celebrated 20 years of friendship by traveling together to Hawaii. I think the most intense, and awe-inspiring part of that trip was a 4am boat trip we took, on 20…

So Tito and I got to try glass blowing for the first time this weekend – we drove out to beautiful Merrickville for a day long seminar at the studio Kiss my Glass (soon to be Flo, and based in Ottawa). Two lovely people, Bronwin…
So I finally tried dying yarn on my own for the first time, and I decided to ignore the expensive dying kit I bought at the KW Fair and go for Kool-Aid technique first. I was really surprised, I’ve never done this before and the…
