This and That & The Other Thing
TAT & TOT is where you can find all kinds of quality handmade items crafted in my studio in the Outer Banks of North Carloina, the nations premier beach encompassing Cape Hatteras National Seashore. Home to groundbreaking history such as the first airplane flight, the first English colony in America, the tallest lighthouse in America, and so much more.

I always have my eye out for new and exciting artistic creations. It's not at all unusual to find me walking the sound shores after a storm to collect an eclectic mix of raw materials which somehow communicates to me what it is that it wants to be utilized for in it's next life.
Quality is a very important part of whatever I happen to make. I believe that we should do everything with the very best of intentions, the best quality, and with respect for all aspects of creating.
Being part Cherokee I feel honored to live the ideals of 'waste not want not' as well as carrying the torch of the endless light of lost arts and forgotten skills into the future and providing a platform for all generations to enjoy the magic of ordinary as well as extraordinary.
