In addition to my writing, I express myself through various forms of artwork, posted primarily on my deviantART gallery and on my blog. In 2009, I began creating cyber-steampunk inspired wire and bead jewellery.
I work mainly with recycled computer and watch parts, but also use vintage toys and miscellaneous spare parts. My jewellery has been mentioned in both the Times Colonist and UVic's The Martlet.
Named after my blogging handle, SleeplessStoryteller's Bits & Baubles are available at:
Etsy.com, an online handmade marketplace
Flaming Angels Boutique, 4307 Main Street, Vancouver, BC
Sam's SIDESHOW Boutique, 559 Johnson Street, Victoria, BC
In addition to crafting jewellery, my artistic background also includes acrylic and watercolour painting, pencil and chalk sketching, photography, graphic design and desktop publishing.
