how did you first get into making this stuff? do you enjoy it?

There's a lot of possible answers here.

For a couple years after college, I worked at a laser engraving and cutting shop. Leather was a material we knew we could cut, but nobody ever asked for it, so I looked up some basic info and put together some masks as demo pieces. Then I got fired for unrelated reasons, but decided to keep going with the masks on my own. A decade later, I’m still going.

I've always enjoyed making things. The focused calm of working a craft, the challenge of finding the problems that need solving, followed by the satisfaction of holding in your hands something that hadn't exited before. It’s hard to beat that feeling. If you haven’t done it for a while, I highly recommend making a habit of it.

Sometime in college I realized that if I kept making things just for myself, I would eventually run out of both space in my closet and money in my bank account. So I took the best photos I could of what I had, and started posting it up on Etsy.

In high school ceramics class, I had an idea to try and make a flexible dragon skin out of little bits of clay, all glazed differently. I had no idea how to do this. A friend of mine was like "Yo it sounds like you want to look up how to make chainmail for that." She was right.

I work in architecture by day, and the decision to do that was unrelated but definitely related to my crafting obsession. Designing a kitchen, a café, a house, takes months or years of work, most of which is tedious details like picking tile patterns or looking up exactly what order to layer different sealant tapes to make sure the walls are watertight. Designing a crafting project gives me a creative outlet that is immediate. I can sit down for an afternoon and take an idea from a sketch on trace paper, to a final mask formed up out of leather. There's an excitement to that. A reminder that, yes, I can make cool stuff quickly, without needing to sink two years into a project.

For a while I worked to teach myself to draw. I managed to get pretty decent at sketching from life, with a moderate understanding of anatomy and perspective. I liked art, so I thought I wanted to make art. But I struggled with it. If I was drawing something from my imagination, no matter how well I managed to put the lines down on the paper, I would ultimately look at it and just be sad that it didn't exist in the real world. So eventually I gave up on the drawing part, and focused on the part I seemed to actually care about.

I can't envision a version of myself that doesn't make things. I think on some fundamental level, I measure my worth as a person based on what I put forth into the world. I don't know what else to do.

When you decide to turn a hobby into a business, it of course takes some of the delight away. It's no longer something you do when you want to relax and have some fun. It becomes an obligation, to make and ship orders on time, to pack up your stuff and bring it to craft fairs, to track your expenses and file your taxes, to stay on top of the constantly changing social media landscape. But it also lights a fire under your ass. You can't just keep making the same thing you made three years ago–you have to keep making new stuff, keep improving your techniques, keep reaching for new ideas that have never been made before. You lose some of the joy, but you gain a lot of satisfaction.

All through my childhood I filled my closet with little handicrafts kits, that I got as gifts or that caught my eye when following my dad to the art store. Calligraphy, wood carving, weaving looms, boondoggles, spirographs, knitting, crochet, fancy nautical knots, sculpey, and more that I can't remember. After all those different things, I’m so glad that I found a couple specific crafts that really grabbed me, that take enough work to develop expertise, that have expansive enough applications and possibilities, that I could devote a decade or more of my time to focusing on them.

I’d been interested in the furry fandom ever since little fantasy reading teenager me tried looking for stories where the dragons were the main characters, and I found people online who were doing just that. There’s a powerful do-it-yourself attitude that’s baked into the core of the fandom: The world isn’t giving us the art that we want, so we’re going to make it ourselves. I keep having ideas for things that I want, that don’t exist yet. If I want them to exist, I have to be the one to make them.

My dad was a photographer, and I spent many childhood afternoons with him in his darkroom in the basement, delightedly washing negatives, turning them gently over in their canisters of chemicals, sitting still in the dark as Dad unspooled the sensitive film, squinting in the red light as the projected images magically re-emerged on the clean white paper. What could be more amazing, more normal, more right, than having your own little space to work such magic for yourself.

In about 2008 or 9 I ordered my first batch of metal scales, with the idea of trying to make a dragon tail in time for Halloween. It took probably a couple weeks to figure out how to make it, and within a week I had thought of how to do it better and disassembled the entire thing. By the 3rd or 4th time I'd rebuilt it, I thought that it was probably good enough that I wouldn't feel embarrassed to post it online and see if someone might want to buy it.

Of course I love working on these things I make. But I don't think that's exactly why I make them.

How to Mix Pirate Fashion with Boho for an Effortless Vibe 🌊✨

Ever dreamed of combining the adventurous spirit of pirate fashion with the laid-back charm of boho style? This unique fusion creates an effortless vibe that’s bold, whimsical, and perfect for free spirits. Let’s explore how to mix these two iconic styles for a look that’s equal parts daring and dreamy!

🌿 Start with a Pirate Statement Piece

Pirate fashion is all about drama! Begin your look with a standout pirate-inspired item:

Flowy pirate shirts pair beautifully with boho skirts or loose trousers.

Corset belts bring structure and a touch of pirate rebellion.

Asymmetrical skirts with ruffles or layers add flair to your outfit.

Imagine a ruffled pirate blouse teamed with a flowy boho maxi skirt—an instant vibe!

🌾 Embrace Earthy Boho Tones

Pirate fashion leans towards deep hues like navy, black, and burgundy, while boho thrives on earthy tones like beige, olive, and mustard. Combine these palettes for a harmonious blend.

Pair a black pirate shirt with a tan suede boho vest.

Look for natural fabrics like cotton and linen to enhance the boho vibe.

🌸 Accessorize Like a Pirate-Boho Queen

Accessories make all the difference!

Pirate-Inspired Must-Haves:

Tricorn hats or wide-brimmed hats for drama.

Chunky belts with ornate buckles.

Layered necklaces with pendants for treasure-hunter vibes.

Boho Additions:

Fringe bags for that free-spirited touch.

Beaded bracelets and earthy anklets.

Combine a leather corset belt with boho-inspired beaded necklaces to strike the perfect balance.

🌊 Layer It Up

Both pirate and boho styles love layers!

Add a pirate-style vest over a flowy boho dress.

Layer a crochet shawl or lace scarf for texture.

Try a high-low pirate skirt with a longer boho skirt underneath for a dynamic look.

👢 Choose the Right Footwear

Your shoes should ground your look:

Pirate lovers will adore knee-high boots or buckled shoes.

Boho enthusiasts can opt for embroidered ankle boots or gladiator sandals.

For the ultimate fusion, try suede knee-high boots—they’re perfect for both styles!

🎨 Patterns and Prints

Pirate fashion embraces nautical stripes and solid colors, while boho thrives on eclectic prints like paisleys and florals. Mix and match to create a vibrant outfit:

A striped pirate blouse paired with a paisley boho skirt is effortlessly chic.

Add a boho kimono over a pirate-inspired dress for extra texture.

✨ Pirate-Boho Beauty Tips

Your look isn’t complete without the right hair and makeup!

Hairstyle: Loose waves or braids with beads are perfect for this fusion.

The best hats to rock this summer

The sun is out! Here is the best headwear to celebrate summer – even if you’re not a hat person… Along with a good layer of SPF, a cool hat is essential to top off your summer look. Wide-brimmed hats have recently made waves on the runway, and as the weather warms up, it’s necessary to add stylish protection. From flopping lamp shades to the nonchalant baseball cap, these are the on-trend styles to accessorize your beach day or weekend away. 1. Cool crochet  STRIPE CROCHET BUCKET HAT- Kate Spade It seems like Crochet makes a comeback every year. Ideal for layering, crochet makes a statement beyond your clothes, and having been big for bags last year, 2024 is all about the crochet cap. Coming in the form of a knitted cap, bucket, or visor, crochet is undoubtedly one of the cutest hat trends this summer. 2. Statement straw Raffia and floppy hats have become the headgear of the summer, making any look go from English garden to Saint-Tropez style. Unfortunately, not all of these types of hats are made for our cramped carry-ons. Opting for a soft structure over stiff fabric is best—not to mention it’s kinder to your wallet. Crochet raffia is a good option for surviving being stuffed in a suitcase. Oliver Bonas Black & Natural Striped Foldable Visor Hat, £26 3. On-trend bucket Linen Bucket Hat ME+EM Easy to bundle up and pop in your bag as you’re flying out the door – the bucket hat is the ultimate Gen Z summer accessory. From statement prints to humble pastels, the on-trend bucket is an intergenerational staple at Glastonbury or in your garden. 4. Reliable baseball Clare V. Baseball Cap The style that will always work is undoubtedly the baseball cap. Possibly the least glamorous of the styles, the baseball cap has a cool insouciance. When styled right, it can give nautical chic vibes or look like you’re a humble millionaire trying to run errands discreetly. Either way, a simple colorway can often edge up the most classic of looks – or at least hide you from accidental bump-ins. 5. Hot florals Farm RioFlowers Tie-Strap Sun Hat "The floral trend is huge this season, with floral patterns adorning everything from pants to shirts and accessories. If you'd prefer to add a floral touch to your outfit without going all out with a dress, a statement piece is the way to go. It adds a feminine and quaint country touch to any outfit."

This ensemble not only looks effortlessly chic but also ensures you're ready for a day of relaxation under the sun.

2. Nautical-Inspired Day Out

For a classic seaside look that never goes out of style, opt for a nautical-inspired ensemble paired with your large beach tote. Choose a striped Breton top or a navy blue sundress as the foundation of your outfit, evoking the timeless charm of coastal fashion. Pair it with white denim shorts or capri pants for a fresh, summery feel. Accessorize with maritime-inspired accents such as anchor earrings, rope bracelets, and espadrille sandals. Let your large beach tote make a statement with its navy and white stripes or anchor motifs, adding a touch of seafaring flair to your ensemble.

4. Coastal Casual Explorer

Start with a simple white linen shirt paired with denim shorts or distressed jeans for an effortlessly cool look. Slip on a pair of slide sandals or espadrilles for easygoing comfort. Accessorize with a woven straw hat, shell necklace, and oversized sunglasses for added flair. Your large beach tote in natural materials like woven straw or canvas complements the coastal aesthetic perfectly, adding a touch of rustic charm to your ensemble.

5. Sunset Soiree Glamour

Transform your beach tote into a glamorous accessory fit for a sunset soiree by the shore. Opt for a flowing maxi dress in a bold color or shimmering metallic fabric that catches the light as the sun sets. Add statement jewelry such as chandelier earrings or a statement necklace to elevate your look. Slip into strappy sandals or wedges for added height and elegance. Your large beach tote becomes the perfect finishing touch, serving as a stylish carryall for your essentials while exuding effortless glamour with metallic accents, sequins, or embellishments.

In conclusion, your large beach tote is more than just a practical accessory—it's a versatile fashion staple that can elevate your beach day look in countless creative ways.
