Kate Reña

When I'm feeling crappy, creating brings me up. When I'm scattered, creating helps me focus. Creating things -- beautiful things, weird things, things that surprise me even while I'm making them -- is (slightly to my own surprise, &amp; entirely contrary to my elementary school aptitude tests) the center of my life. 
 
(Okay, so are the cats.)
 
 
So Patreon's whole 'X is creating...' pitch was sort of, well, perfect. So, here I am. Making surprise jewelry &amp; random-stuff-in-a-bowl soap &amp; taking lots &amp; lots of cat pictures.
 
 
&amp; here's you along for the journey! That's pretty awesome. Welcome along!
 
 
<h3>I'm along for the journey?</h3>
