Inspire-d!

Thanks so much to Lena for this awesome article and interview in Inspirer Magazine online!


I love the headscarf styling!


I also need to know where her shirt is from so I can get one for myself. :)

You can see more scarves and bracelets in my shop!

I'll be selling some fun, colorful bracelets; bright leather pouches and clutches; and some super cool hand-dyed scarves and shirts! Come by to say hi! There will be a ton of other independent artists and vendors there, so there will be lots to look at! 

Please forward this on to anyone who might be interested in shopping, supporting small businesses, or getting gifts for the women in their lives!

PS, did I mention this is also a FOOD fair? There's something for everyone!

Tote-ally awesome, dude

New tote style coming to the store soon! I've been experimenting with dyeing different types/weights of fabric and the canvas came out just as I pictured it!


Yes, I saved my Homer Simpson stamp. Yes, I drew that cute raccoon behind the bag. Yes, that is a feather from a duck in Central Park.

Shibori part one!

A scarf and a t-shirt started out like this:

and one got dyed lime green:

then I started to unwrap it:

and then it was this!

I ended up not dyeing the t-shirt that day because I discovered that the black thread left black lines on the silk of the scarf.

It ended up looking kind of cool and veiny, so I don't feel too bad about the scarf, but I did take the shirt apart and re-tie it with some white thread.

The scarf is willow pattern (yanagi shibori), although mine always turns out so white because I tie it so tight.

I did some more great stuff this weekend at home in Memphis, and will post pics as soon as my sister sends them to me!
