Wabi - Sabi. This definition perfectly describes my work. 'Finding beauty within the imperfections and accepting the natural cycle of growth and decay . . . celebrating the cracks, crevices and all other marks that time, weather and love leave behind' 🖤 #
All designs start with a simple idea and then a plan. A collection of a few of my sketches ✨

Latest piece 'Remnant' blue spruce, black dye by @virginiabirchfield
A little known fact about me. I worked through college with my dad restoring old cars. After graduation I continued to paint cars for a living. My dad taught me everything I know about metal working and painting and he never let the fact that I was a girl stop him from teaching me. His attitude was, 'If I can do it, so can you.' Today I owe my confidence to work in male dominated professions to his faith in my abilities. So cheers to all the dad's out there that are supporting their daughters and kudos to all the ladies out there that are killin' it by not letting the fact that they are 'just a girl' stop them from taking on the world ✨✊👩‍🔧🌎♥️
✨Detail of a frame I dyed with black wood dye. The sappy areas of the spruce wouldn't take the water based dye, leaving it streaky. I love embracing the imperfections instead of hiding them 👐
