I've been a crafter all my life. I started sewing when I was 6 years old, and I've been making jewelry since I was 9 or 10. I'm best at applied organic chemistry "crafts" in the forms of soap-making, brewing, and candy-making.
I spent 8 semesters since 2009 as a fine arts student focusing on printmaking and book arts before switching to history and art history. I'm now in the ancient studies program at the University of South Dakota, and my art history expertise ranges as far back as the Paleolithic up through the early 20th century. I enjoy the fields of religion, women's studies, anthropology, and archaeology as well.
