I’m still here! The last year and a half have not been the most creative, but the shop is still cruisin’ along. I sold my last moth bag last month and have had sewing on the brain* so of course I designed a tshirt instead. And then I opened a TeePublic store so that I could buy one to wear. Link in bio if you want to rock one too! *just bought some new fabric, so as soon as I finish the current project on my table I’m pulling out the sewing machine. New bags coming soon! #inkandbonealchemy #tshirt #teepublic #tshirtdesign #snake #etsy @teepublic #inknbone #makersgonnamake
Well I finally got all those Polaroids scanned and listed in my Etsy shop. Check them out! Link in bio. #TextureLayers #Polaroid #ImpossibleProjectFilm #PolaroidFilm #overlays #photoshop #etsy #InkAndBoneAlchemy #EstySeller #DigitalDownloads
Sold my last moth bag and shipped it off to Canada today. Yay! I checked my supplies and I have fabric cut to make 2 more bags if and when I chose to pull out the sewing machine. I also have fabric printed for 1 more avocado bag.

I got a new jewelry box which of course ended with me cleaning my closet. For some reason, between polishing silver and bringing the step stool upstairs, I ended up in one of my studio drawers and found these fun little encaustic paintings I did a couple years ago. Maybe I should break out the wax again. - TL;DR - new pieces listed in my Etsy shop! Link in bio. #etsyseller #etsy #inkandbonealchemy #minipaintings #encausticart #ink #collage #cleaningmode

Yesterday I made 2 more bags for the shop. Started working on another bag this morning and my machine broke! Took it apart and cleaned it and will hopefully be back at it after a breakfast break. #thatsabreakicangetbehind #sewingmachineproblems #fixeditmyself #inkandbonealchemy #etsyseller #zipperpouch #fabriclove #makingbagsfornigel
TFW you are happily listening to old @henryandheidi podcasts and sewing up another bag - cause you are still in #productiveAF mode - and your machine breaks. Crap! The machine kept locking up after a couple stitches. So I took it apart, cleaned it - TWICE - and hopefully I have got it working again. Troubleshooting at its finest. I’ll try it again after I have some breakfast. #fingerscrossed #fixityourself #compressedairtotherescue #sewingmachinewoes #mustbeworkingtoohard #sewing #inkandbonealchemy
2 weeks ago we were in Truckee and I discovered the most amazing shop @ateliertruckee (I may have squealed!) where I bought the fabrics that I used in today’s bags. How cool is that linen fabric?! I bought 2 yards. Erin got some things too and now she has no money for college. Anyway, 2 bags, 2 styles, 2 sizes already listed in Etsy because I am getting things done! Oh, and last night’s sunset was all that. #productiveaf #itwontlast #etsyshop #inkandbonealchemy #zipperedpouch #sewwhatyoulove #fabricstash #bobrossapproves #artstorestodiefor #sunset
When I was 3, we moved from Detroit to Redford. My dad painted our new house pink for my mom, and painted the moon and stars on my bedroom ceiling with glow in the dark paint. Every night after kissing me goodnight, he would stand in my doorway and say “I give you the stars, and the moon!” and would turn off my light. And *poof* - there they were. My dad was magic. And today I made this new bag - animal constellations that glow in the dark!! Super soft flannel on the outside and sturdy canvas on the inside. (Already list in my Etsy shop. Link in bio) *And* I am so pleased with my new necklace that I’ve already ordered some metal to make more! #igiveyouthestarsandthemoon #mydadrocked #zipperedpouch #inkandbonealchemy #etsyshop #stars #moon #necklace #makersgonnamake #sewwhatyoulove #historyoflife
New Constellation bag in the shop today! Sewed this baby up this morning with super soft fannel (It glows in the dark!) and lined with heavy cotton canvas. I’ve also made a few more moth and avocado bags. Plus I have a couple more new fabrics ready to cut up tomorrow.

Okay, last bag for awhile I promise. Tomorrow I hand my sewing machine over to Erin who is taking a Sewing Camp at Joann’s this week. *And* I have Part 2 of my periodontic surgery tomorrow so no operating heavy machinery and damn that Singer is heavy! But this bag had to be made because jellies!! And it’s an outdoor fabric so take it outside for me because I’m gonna be holding down the couch in the AC.

Erin and I went to the fabric store the other night for a couple more yellow zippers as there is already an ownership dispute over the avocado bag, so I need to fast like a bunny make a few more. Unfortunately they didn’t have any more of the zippers I wanted, but they did have this fun fabric that screamed ‘buy me!’ So I did. And then I made cute 👁 bags and I still need yellow zippers. TL;DR - new bags listed in my Etsy shop! Link in bio. #inkandbonealchemy #etsyshop #zipperpouch #eyes #blackandwhitefabrics #sewwhatyoulove #makersgonnamake #pearpouch

Finished a new hand-printed zippered pouch this morning. I tried a new pattern from @sarkirsten - quick and easy to sew and it has french seams which are très fancy! It is 9 3/4” wide at the top and 6” tall - slightly bigger than my small moth pouch. And I’m totally in love with the lining fabric! I’m gonna keep this one, but I’m already planning the next one for the shop. #inkandbonealchemy #zipperedpouch #pearpouch #handprintedfabric #printmaking #reliefprinting #handmade #textile #moth #makersgonnamake #artlife #blackcross➕
