Origami and I are mortal enemies but every now and then I actually do something right. I made a book.

So I had this idea this morning when I was in the garage working on a metal brooch. For Mother’s Day I had Jillian make a pendant out of clay for both grandmas. Well I decided to take it and create the pendant out of silver and attach it to a personalized pendant that says … Continue reading
