I am asked about tools and supplies I use all the time. So I’m sharing my “secrets” below. These are tools and supplies that I have in my studio. Some of them, I have multiples of too so when one is hiding in that “safe” place, I still have access until it comes out of hiding.

I am based in the U.S., which means the sales I share may not be available if you are not in the U.S.
I work closely with many great vendors and my job isn’t to convince you to buy with one or the other. I support and order from all of these companies throughout the year. Each retailer can carry a little bit different products and selection.
