Rust Dyeing, Slow Stitching, Baking & Thoughts on Creating

What happens when inspiration isn’t there? In this video, I show up anyway—starting work on my 6th sphere, experimenting with rust dyeing (and asking for your advice), stitching scraps just to keep moving, and taking a stroll through Central Park. I also share a baking mishap-turned-success and reflect on how we keep going through the messiness. This is a video about creative doubt, persistence, and trusting process—if we just keep showing up. 🎨 Featuring: – Early progress on Sphere 6 – Rust dyeing experiment + viewer question – Slow stitching scraps – A Sunday stroll through Central Park – Deconstructing and remaking an icebox cake Hit that SUBSCRIBE button and create with me!
