Jewelry making

Interests:

Paper crafts

I own a Vagabond die cutter and a ton of stamps and inks and stuff and enjoy creating cards. I may bring in the Vagabond some weekend when I need a break from sewing.


Leather working

This is something I want to do more of. I own some tools but have very little experience.


Woodworking

I haven't done much woodworking since college, but really want to get back into this.


Singing

Hey, there's a metronome near the bar, so I thought I'd mention it. I want to learn how to improve my sense of timing so I can conduct stuff.

I'm in the early music group Court & Country. We sing medieval and renaissance music, mostly a capella works (without instrumental accompaniment).


Miscellaneous

I'm authorized on the laser cutter, but don't know Illustrator very well.
