About Crafty as a Coyote

Crafty as a Coyote is my own personal journey into a home-based business. The idea first started several years ago while visiting a convention where I had art displayed. I suddenly realized, "Hey, people will PAY me to make things I LIKE!" Not a bad idea! The plan got lost along the way as I went to school for graphic design, worked a stint at a local animal shelter, and finally moved and got a job as a graphic designer. Suddenly I'm finding that with a desk job I have more energy left over to create at the end of the day. And so begins Crafty as a Coyote.

My training is in graphic design, but those skills can be carried across many fields. I also enjoy more traditional drawing, sewing, and recently I've been dabbling in knitting and beading. If you have a project you need a crafter for, drop me a line, I love a new challenge!

Wondering about the 'coyote' part of the name? I'm very interested in Native American legends, which Coyote features strongly in. Coyote is a trickster and often the butt of his own jokes. But he is also a teacher and he's very resilient! Coyotes are one of the few animals whose population has increased with the encroachment of man on America's wilderness. They're very adaptable, intelligent, and quite determined! Not a shabby role-model if you ask me.
