My latest obsession? Quilted fabric beads. So fun to make and a great way to use up scrap fabric. I also dyed my fabric for the necklace with paint. Would you like to learn to make these? taken in California USA by @create_with_ruthie

I’ve been busy making my own version of a #trapperkeeper for all of my #fodderschool fodder. I’ve made one other one but I’m not done! #fodderkeeper #artjournalling #bookmaking taken in California by @create_with_ruthie

A little jewelry making—done entirely in paper! ✨ I had so much fun layering the tiny chains, clasps, charms, and findings using @emilymooredesigns beautiful dies. It was the perfect way to bring two of my creative worlds together. 💛.

Sometimes it takes a minute to process an experience like this—to take in everything you learned, created, felt, and carried home with you. I didn’t take nearly as many photos as I thought I would because I was too busy being there. Fodder School Live was filled with color, layers, messy tables, creative play, shared supplies, new connections, and so many moments I’m still appreciating.

I traveled across the country expecting to make art, but I came home creatively full and reminded how meaningful it is to gather with people who understand why making matters.

Thank you to @willa.wanders , whose vision began Fodder School and brought this creative community together; to @heatherkojan , who organized Fodder School Live so we could finally gather and create in person; to @eybcreates , whose support and care helped everything run so smoothly; and to @fmddesigns for sharing so many awesome new techniques with us. Together, you made this experience truly special.

And thank you to everyone who shared a table, a meal, a conversation, or a little piece of fodder with me. 💕 taken in DoubleTree Resort Lancaster by @create_with_ruthie

A little peek at the mixed media postcards I created for the iHanna Postcard Swap ✨📬
I love projects like this because there’s no pressure for perfection… just layers, texture, color, tiny details, and creative play. Every postcard becomes its own little piece of art traveling out into the world to another artist.
These kinds of swaps always remind me how connected creativity can make us feel, even with complete strangers 💌

I can’t believe I just finished my 10th Craftcation! There are so many incredible memories, people, and experiences I’ll always cherish. I like to think of that week as my Christmas and New Year all in one—followed by a fresh start. Happy New Year! I already can’t wait for next year. 😁 bit.ly/Craft27

Stitching outside the fabric 🧵✨
Who says my sewing machine only works on cloth? Giving this little postcard a handmade border—because every memory deserves a frame. 💌🪡 #fodderschool5february #fodderschool taken in California USA by @create_with_ruthie

I almost recycled this box… until I turned it into this. 📦✨
Now I can’t stop making them.
I’m teaching a beginner-friendly workshop at Nacho Ann’s where I’ll show you exactly how to transform everyday materials into a handmade art journal — step-by-step.
No experience needed. You’ll leave with one you created yourself.
Tell me honestly… would you make one? 👇
