Aged Paper Tutorial
I get asked a lot about how I age paper for my maps & props, so I thought I'd put together a tutorial video on it.

Not everything works out...
It's frustrating when a project just doesn't do what you want it to. I'm making these new cards and although they are "okay", I'm not really wowed by them. So I'm thinking to change from the wood to paper. I've tinkered with pyrography on paper a few times but never gave it a great deal of thought because wood allows for a much more finished product. But if I work with paper (at least for projects like these) I...
Handcrafted Pyrography Greeting Cards
I'm trying to decide how I want to make my pyro cards and have been tinkering with several designs. Although they will all be different with added touches depending on the design, I think I've got a better idea of how I'd like to assemble them. So as promised, here's some images of what my new art supplies helped create.

Incendi inspiration
The Incendi Series concept came from a dream similar to the opening text of the story. It ended before we could decipher the marks or know who the beings of light were. I wrote a rough draft of the first chapter and a brief outline of the story within an hour of waking up.
