The Rug Weasel

🎄😍SCREW FACTORY HOLIDAY ART SHOW! 🎅🏿🎁😱
Come to in Lakewood OH this Friday, Saturday, or Sunday to find some amazing handmade holiday gifts, including rugs by your truly! This is one of my last shows for a while so don't miss it!

What do you think this post is going to be about?
COMMISSIONS that's what! 🤩🎉
I'm opening exactly 2 slots for commissioned rugs for the holiday seasons. If you reach out and put a plan together with me by this weekend, I can make sure to have your piece completed by Christmas day.
A few restrictions:
I have a lot on my plate and need to keep down my workload so these will be under 2 ft x 2 ft
The earliest these will be ready is Dec 14th so bear that in mind.
Please reach out to me with your ideas via DM or my email. This is the last time I'll be taking commissions for a few months so let me know!
AND DON'T FORGET: I ship 😉

Are you really gonna let summer get away that easily? Grab one of these beautiful handmade flowers for your home. DM me for interest

Totally forgot to post this charming piece for a commissioner from Father's Day! I love doing lettering, and what better reason for it than to celebrate everyone's favorite defunct Mexican restaurant?? I hope that proud dad is out there remember the good old days every time he sees this 🥰
Do you have a rug you'd like to commission? Send me a DM and let's talk about it!

What do you think of this: my second year at Akron Art Show! One of my favorite shows I do, the weather was great and lots of people came to look at art and take home some lovely rugs for their home 🥰 Sold a few of my favorites! Now I have an excuse to make more👍 If you missed me at the show, I still have some of the rugs in these photos left! Hit me up if you're interested 😉
A big thank you to everyone who came out to support me, especially my aunts and cousin who helped me set up and tear down. Happy summer, everyone!

The strobe lights of the disco will bring us home 🎵

"Disco Flowers" is one of my favorite medium size rugs I've made yet! Tufting and sculpting those detailed little petals was such a fun challenge and I'm really happy with the result. If you like to see this rug in your living floor or bedroom wall, hit me up!

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to support me and my fellow q***r artists at this past Saturday! It was super well attended and it made me so happy to be surrounded by like-minded people. Shout-out to these ladies who all needed their own personal mug rug for their dorm room. ✌️
As usual, if you see anything you need for your own home in my photos, feel free to message me! It might still be available, or I can create something similar just for you!
Want to catch my next event? I'll be at in Hardesty Park July 27th and 28th.

Is it too late for Pride rainbows? 🥺 well I'm gay every day so I say no! Come pick up one of these little cuties at the Manic Pixie Dream Market event tomorrow at 11801 Detroit Ave in Lakewood from 11am to 5pm! I have lots of new rugs to show off (which I haven't posted because I've been on vacation🥴) so come stop by!

Is everyone enjoying their first day of Pride month!? I'm just chillin' (metaphorically) at Flea Market with my rugs, wishing I was at the parade 😭 I miss it every dang year. Anyway come out here and support a q***r artist! I have so many fun new designs, and I need to sell them so I have an excuse to create even more!

Sky Seal tufted rug ✨🦭🌈☁️
She's looking fish, no? Sorry, I meant looking FOR fish, flying amongst the starry rainbow clouds...
This rug is one of my largest, most complex, and highly polished pieces to date, and I'm so happy with the result. I spent ages just perfecting the design, and don't get me started about tufting the cloud swirls or sculpting the stars! But it all paid off in the end and now this seal is ready to find it's forever home or gallery (or maybe just live with me forever, I'm not complaining 😍)
If you missed seeing this rug at show today, you can catch me again at the Akron Art Festival!

She really said 👀✨
Interested in finding out who this cute seal is? Come to the Tower Press Building, tomorrow May19th from 12-5pm to see my rugs in the Wooltex Gallery opening show! So excited to display my latest masterpiece 😍

Recent commission as a birthday gift!



Keep reading for personal life update
I promise I'm still out here working on rugs ✌️😭 But I took a break from Instagram after my last art show and kinda kept it deleted until today. Oops sorry not sorry. It was great to take a break from social media and it helped me find a way to re-evaluate the importance of my art and my small business.
Moving forward, I will be on Instagram only one/two days a week. I will be taking a half-step back from making rugs to focus on other projects, including my third book of poetry (nearly complete!) and a novel (barely begun!) It's my goal this year, as it was last year, to become a published author, but in 2023 I let my rug-making business totally take over. I need to remind myself I have other dreams as well.
If you've read this far, thank you! I hope you will continue to support me in my rug-making journey! It's far from over and I still have lots of ideas I want to bring to life, and lots of spaces for commissions as well! So stick around, because this weasel has lots of work ahead of them! 🤘😤
