Hello. My name is Christina. I am a native of Sacramento CA who has been creating items of unusual beauty for over 20 years. I have a wide range of interests and some very interesting friends and I am always looking to add to both. My first loves are Steampunk and Victoriana and my work tends to reflect these sensibilities. I'm just an old school Goth girl through & through. In the immortal words of Bob Ross, "Darker, darker, darker". One thing about me everyone should know, I am NEVER bored.

I enjoy making jewelry, assemblage, collage, photos, art journals, banners, paper dolls, altered art, buttons, smash books, and all sorts of little pretty things.
