A Little About ME
I spend all of my time playing!
Some of my favorite things to play with include synthetic hair, wild fabrics, beads, wire,
paper clay, taxidermy eyes, scissors, thread, sewing needles, and cameras! I get crazy ideas
in my head & make them all come true.. A lot of my creations over the years have been published
in fashion magazines/books & used in performances.
