Custom text hairclip orders… as a pulse on the times.

Redbud seed pods make very cool impressions in leather!

It has been a minute - I have been busy making hair clips, gardening and otherwise trying to save the world! This was for a custom order that just shipped off to Galena, IL. I almost kept it for myself 🌈💛

The early stages of my wildflower hair clips. Not so glamorous but they will eventually bloom in shiny pink, blue and purple.

I’m visiting Stowe VT with the family and stopped into one of my retailers, The Body Lounge (), a fantastic-smelling natural bath & body care store. They also have an amazing sock selection. Check them out if you’re in the area!

The view out my basement studio window on the snowy morning. ❄️❄️❄️ Thankfully I don’t need to go any further than my mailbox today to put out today’s orders.

Studio guest designer for the afternoon (my 12yo), who did made me pastel sponge painted prototypes. It’s always so interesting to see how different artists make completely different uses of the same materials & tools. ❤️

I wish I could capture and share the amazing smell when I press fresh juniper!

The holidays have passed, and we are left with January. It’s not my favorite time of year, but the winter sunsets have been haunting me & inspired this new design.
