 Evergreen StudioLaika is the boss! #ariesdog |  Evergreen Modern Dayon most days you'll probably still see Laika Dog bossing me around and out front of the Evergreen my ebike that takes me around the 26 acres but is quiet enough to not disturb the wildlife whose home this land originally belongs too |
 My Sliding Door/ Mural/Social SignPainted this to fancy up my social images and it doubles as a studio sign! win-win! Also the prickly pear theme is an homage to my Texas surroundings...these beauties are everywhere! |  Inside the EvergreenDisplays for my jewels waiting for sale online or in person events. I may eventually have an open camp/studio weekend when we get more established... what do you think? |
 Inside the Evergreen Studiome at my jewelry bench...I wear face protection any time I solder or grind metal.. so important in a tiny studio space! |  Soldering inside the Evergreen Studioin addition to face protection Kyle installed a vent system to carry out the fumes from soldering and particles from sawing and sanding as well. |
 Rings made in the Evergreen Studioeven though my studio is tiny and solar powered I am able the still make larger wholesale orders...like these rings for a farm animal sanctuary |  Jewelry bench in the Evergreen StudioMy jewelry bench is the nucleus around which all my jewelry is made...here I am using my Hydraulic press to cut out animal shapes to make my necklaces, rings, bracelets etc. |
 Working a Jewelry Collection in the Evergreen StudioJewelry Collections give me a chance as an artist to dive into and learn and share more about a nature inspired topic that I can share with others...mine usually have an animal, gemstone and earth element as a starting base for creativity. A portion of the proceeds usually goes to causes related to the collection. |  me and my bowerbird Kylewithout this guy nothing is possible..Kyle keeps me in the best studio ever so we can keep creating all our dreams together. Ps while I'm making jewelry he is outside making our tiny dream cabin out of aircrete. |
 Laika DogShe truly is the boss of me! LOL love her so! #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #adoptdontshop |  Our Aircrete Dome Cabinour next project or should I say Kyles is this tiny aircrete Dome Cabin that we hope to finish and move into in the Spring of 2024...can't wait. |
 campfire outside the domeSince making the change to a tiny living lifestyle...I like to say that the earth is our home but our tiny studio/cabin/RV etc are our shelters....I think this way of thinking puts life in a better/more accurate perspective as shelter is what keeps us from the weather and safe as it does for any other animal but the earth/outside is where we really do or strive to do most of our real living. |  Aircrete Dome Cabin + FriendsWhile we are on 26 acres of land that is 20 minutes from Waco and it often feels like our own state park we think it is very important to stay connected to friends and social...so we host friends out often and even have a few spaces we put in for camping and for those with tiny houses, camper vans etc. these spaces have electric hookups too...we hope to rent out in the future too...ps Vegans and Animal Lovers get first pick! |
 Finished Dome Homeas of November of 2024 Kyle and I live full time in this incredible dome that he built us...as of 2025 he is finishing the final part by making us a covered porch! It is completely off-grid using solar panels and rain water! We love it so much! |

Welcome to my tiny Sustainable jewelry studio inside an Evergreen Shipping Container! This is where all the handmade jewelry making magic happens.
​
The tiny studio build began in December of 2018 when we ordered a shipping container to be delivered to our land. I was so happy when it was delivered that it was green which is my favorite color and also that it read EVERGREEN!
I felt this was a perfect name for this studio as I am always hoping my jewelry is "evergreen" both in quality & purpose.
Needless to say I love the recycled aspect of both my work space and that I make my jewelry out of recycled metals aka "green" materials ...well it all seems like kismet!
My Tiny Evergreen Studio which it is now named is located in Hubbard Texas(population 1423),a town that was founded in 1895 and became known for it's healing mineral springs.
Although the springs have long since gone away it is still a cute little texas town!
Our land is technically located 3 miles from the downtown of Hubbard so out of the "city" limits and Hubbard is located just 20-25 minutes from Waco and is about 2 hours from Austin so civilization is not too far away!
​
While the Evergreen Studio itself is Solar Powered for electricity and off-grid too, getting its water from our rain catch cistern, a fun fact about Hubbard Texas is that they are now part of the Hubbard Wind Project with many Wind Turbines that are just outside the Evergreen, and can be seen dotting the Texas Praire land.
The Evergreen Studio is in Hill County and the wind produced when the project is complete will be a combined capacity of approximately 450 megawatts of clean, renewable energy! While wind turbines are not great on every level especially for Birds and Bats it is still better than a lot of what is happening in Texas...the climate change struggle here is real which is one of the reasons we are working to create this off-grid tiny way of life for ourselves in an effort towards our own sustainability!
The Evergreen Studio is located on 26 acres of land which was previously used for cattle ranching that we are rewilding back to the earth and plan to keep mostly wild prairie for all the deer, bobcats, coyotes, wild pigs, rabbits, wild turkeys, oppossum, skunks,beaver etc that now call this land home and also the many birds including the Scissor-Tailed Flycatcher which is why we, along with our friends and family call the land
Camp Scissor-Tail. In 2025 It was repainted to an off white to look more cohesive with the surrounding buildings, but it did get a new sign that is still 'green' in honor of the name.
​
Since 2021 which is when Kyle and I moved from Dallas, Texas to live on the land full-time. In doing so it has allowed us to work on a more sustainable and get use to a tiny living lifestyle. We are currently living in our Aircrete Dome Cabin that we built (well mostly Kyle built) and moved into in the fall of 2024, see images in gallery.
We are always striving to live in harmony with the earth and with the native wildlife and hopefully leaving the earth better or with the least amount of damage while we are here on this planet.
