As another collaboration with Benzie Design, I created a tutorial on how to make a needle-felted framed bust.
All materials used to make this wizard frog were provided by Benzie Design.
All tutorials can be found on the Benzie Design Instagram Page and/or Blog.
As a part of my collaboration with Benzie Design, I created the logo for Drawtober as well as a full-length tutorial on how to make it.

Design for a Krampus head mount. I wanted the design to be a little bit cute and whimsical while still embracing the sinister ideals of Krampus!
These figures were designed for 2020 Drawtober prompts! As a host of the event, I wanted to do something special and create toys instead of drawings.
July, 2020
In collaboration with Chicago’s popular designer toy store, Rotofugi, I created a full line of toys for sale. This included updating the design for my Woodland Elves and creating new colors and types for my Mushroom Folk.
The newest addition to the Wool Folks, Woodland Elves can be found in over-grown gardens and forests. To prevent being caught by curious children, their hoods need to blend in with their local flora, fauna and fungi.
Unlike other Wool Folk, the Woodland Elf is made without an armature; instead, it uses pins placed at the joints. It is also the first figure to feature unique, handmade glass eyes.

In at tincidunt tortor. Praesent tempor eros vitae elit dignissim, vitae elementum dui dapibus. Duis tristique, ligula eget lobortis accumsan, nibh enim venenatis urna, a commodo elit ex ac urna.
Mushroom Folk are the first designs created for the Wool Folks brand and series. Mushroom Folk are small, nervous creatures that you can find in the woods around Morel season; though, they’re even harder to spot than Morels!
Mushroom Folk are made with wire armatures inside, meaning that all of their limbs can be posed and used for things like stop-motion animation or for displaying as a one-of-a-king art figure.
When I’m not making figures or taking photographs, I like to dabble in all sorts of crafts; specifically designs and accessories for children’s rooms!
Included here are some faux-taxidermy, needed felted mounts and a needle punched toadstool.
Similar to my fall season series, the following is a focus on the winter environment of Southeastern Wisconsin.

Nature inspires me to create and design. On occasion, I love to capture it’s unfiltered beauty via photography.
