Meet Pootles

Crafty and creative, I was a makeup artist for more than a decade, a writer of my own website for over 13 years, a crafter for almost 17 years.

There’s something effortlessly relaxing about creativity, whether it’s brushing foundation and makeup onto someone’s face, or taking a pair of scissors to a piece of elegant cardstock. To create something from nothing is pleasing in itself, but to take something beautiful and make it unique is divine.
