Tati & Me
Tati & Me: Clothing for the Spirited Girl has been inspired by many people, events and places along with my love for fashion, color, and fabric. My desire to dress my little girls as kids and to allow for their spirit and spunk to be expressed through clothing, continues to be a driving force in my creations. Colorful, versatile, and fun to wear, Tati & Me caters to girls between ages of 1 through 12. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind creation that can be customized to the 'spirited' girl's style and personality. Excellent craftsmanship with attention to detail paired with elements of surprise makes each item every girl's (and parent's) favorite! Proudly made in America!
Turtle Dance Handwoven
Recycle
I create dish towels, table runners, placemats and rugs in traditional patterns on floor looms in my home studio in Salem. The rugs and placemats and some runners are made using recycled fabric and ties. The vast majority of the items are woven from natural fibers or fabrics.

Just A Little Charm
Recycle justalittlecharm.com
Up-Cycled Necklaces, Zipper Pulls, Key Hooks,Doorbells, Earrings and Bead Toppers are the creations I make with copper salvaged from the roof of a 35 year old building demolished in 2001. I individually cut, file, shape and stamp each piece of this reclaimed material. There are variations on every piece I make, as they are each hand done. The copper also has its own variations having been weathered by the Central Oregon elements. The circles are cut using a precision forged steel cutter and the other shapes are hand cut using metal shears. I have several different font sets and over 150 design stamps. The letters are stamped one at a time like an old fashioned typewriter. I set up a workstation in my booth to demonstrate my craft and make custom pieces for visitors right on the spot.

Metalwork
I create jewelry incorporating metals, semi precious stones and beads, leather, vintage and found objects. I enjoy the process of letting my pieces evolve and create themselves. My cuff bracelets are my favorite form of expression currently and are a little steampunky, victorian, edgy, vintage, 60's meets the wild west. Usually one of a kind they are little art pieces for the wrist. I like organic looking stones and like using found objects that I collect on my travels. I take great pride in the quality of my work.
