Hi!

 

I'm Barbara Bechtel!

 

Here's a little about me:


I’m passionate about making things and exploring the history behind how they are created. Over the last 25 years, I’ve immersed myself in learning as much as I can. From painting, designing jewelry, printmaking, and bookbinding to teaching myself new techniques, I’m all about discovering new skills and creating a world that’s uniquely my own.
.
When I’m not making something artsy-fartsy, you’ll find me:
.
experimenting with new recipes
.
trying to keep my houseplants alive
.
taking road trips to nowhere
.
combing thrift stores for useful needless junk
.
watching Jeopardy! with my cats 
,
This space is my little corner of the internet, where I share my work for sale and the projects I’m currently diving into. Whether you’re here to find a heartfelt gift for someone you love (don’t forget to treat yourself, too!) or just exploring, I hope you leave feeling inspired to create something of your own.
.
I truly believe we can MAKE a better world, one creation at a time.
