Making great-looking craft easy

The Craft Whirled Story

During a goal-setting exercise related to a completely different hobby, I had a bit of an epiphany: my interests and skills overlapped in a bit of an extreme Venn diagram. I am happiest making art from paper. 

I know that the learning curve for these cutting machines is steep.  The software is unhelpful at best, and nothing is intuitive.  My goal is to reduce that learning curve by providing you with detailed instructions, and clear patterns for complex-looking crafts. I want to enable you to create gorgeous projects at home. 

A lifelong crafter and artist, I have joked I suffer from Craft ADD. There is probably no craft I have not attempted with varying levels of success and failure. Most of my time has been spent working with metal — I have been metalsmithing for the last 20 years. You can explore my jewelry work here.
