Episode 100: Projects & Planning

Hello! I hope this finds you well and in good spirits. My editing might have gone awry on this one, but..Ho! Ho! I got a second episode this month. And it’s a 100! I have plans for this month which include a video a week featuring some craft, ahem, tutorials. I use that word loosely here. It’s more of an invitation really to explore what you have around you outside and in your stash. I detail a little more about each project in the video.

A heartfelt thank you to those that are Patrons. I am so excited to announce that I have purchased an upgraded video camera and new lens. I look forward to working with more high quality images and experimenting with some astro video work. If you’d like to learn more about investing in this project you can visit my Patreon Page
