Talented Lady.

My mom's talent never ceases to amaze me.  She is also willing to try anything.  She has started working with cork and 'vegan' leather (do not get me started on that one).  She has been making passport wallets and purses out of these materials.  There are a few online groups that she has joined, where the people share ideas and key learnings.  She saw that some of the people were using their Silhouette's or Cricuts to cut the cork and vinyl (aka vegan leather, haha).  She spent an afternoon at my house trying it out.  After a bit of trial and error, we managed to do it.

It is super impressive to watch this machine cut the tiny pieces.

The best part is that it cut the slits for the wallet.  This is a game changer.

Here are some photos of some of the amazing pieces she has made.  This cork is stunning!



This is not cork, but canvas.  I LOVE how this one turned out!

Dylan's wife, Heather, enjoys these types of prints.  So, my mom made her this bag.

She has been making key chains out of some of the remnants.

This is also not cork, but very adorable.
