# About me

Hey, I'm not dead!

I apologize to anyone who follows my work, I've been both lazy and busy for the past, um, two three years. Oops.

I've moved on from working part time at the jewelry/chainmaille supply store and now have a full time adulting job! It's even in the same field I went to school for for 5 years! Which means less time for crafting in some months and a lot of downtime in others.

Also I picked up knitting and crochet. Help. Too many time consuming crafts.

To anyone seeing this for the first time, hi! I'm a hobbyist with essentially no formal training who dabbles in far too many different crafts. My current fascination is chainmaille, but I also regularly do origami and (albeit much more slowly) soapstone carvings.

Questions, comments, praise, mockery- any feedback given is appreciated, as long as (at least) half a brain was used to write it.

Currently all my carvings are made without the use of any power tools, although that may change in the near future. Especially if I ever get around to trying to carve bone.

If, on the off chance, my stuff looks oddly familiar, you may have seen it under 7Caramel13 - I decided to change usernames (the old-school, have-no-premium-membership way). Either that or you know me on facebook.

Thank you for the favorites, it really means ever so much to me that you enjoy my artwork! I invite you to add me to your watch so that you can see all the future beaded and stitched pieces I have planned! Just think of the sparkles...

You're a really talented sculptor Love the little stone pieces you make -- do you sell them anywhere?

Wow, thank you

Not currently, but I might be persuaded to part with a piece. I'm currently too busy to maintain any sort of etsy thing, and several of my stone pieces are rather fragile because of the small scale I work at, so shipping could be ... interesting.

I'm also unsure how to price things, because while the stone is cheap-ish each piece takes many, many hours of work, with the exception of some of the simpler 'doodles'.

Feel free to send me a note if you're still interested

No problem. Those are all reasonable concerns, I was just curious -- your work seems like the kind of thing that would sell really well on etsy or an upscale holiday market, so I was just wondering if you did. And yeah definitely price things according to how much effort you put in -- don't make sales you're not happy about!

Wow, thanks again!

I've actually been thinking about making an etsy account or something lately - I've got a good amount of stuff lying around, particularly origami modular pieces, which I don't want to throw out (so much time went into them!) but don't really want to keep either.

So who knows. If I ever do end up selling things I'll probably link it to my DA account, if you'd be interested

You're welcome
I'm actually switching over from 7Caramel13, but just started the process so this profile looks pretty sad
