Pivoting in a Time of Crisis

Can’t stop, won’t stop creating.

Welp, here we are at the halfway mark of 2020. This new normal means it’s time to pivot my creative endeavors. No one can go to shows, so digital it is. 

I’ve been thinking about how to bring more sustainability and the idea of “fewer better" into your life. So without further ado, here is my pivot: I’m launching a membership on my site where you can have more access to me! Below are a few ideas that I’m loving. I’m open to your suggestions as well.

 I’m super excited about these new offerings. It’ll be a way for us connect over video and make more personal projects come to life. 

Custom shibori project, June 2020.

For example, take a look at a custom piece I just completed last month for a customer. This is her 3rd project with me. She loves the deepest blue I can get with indigo dyes. You can see my work in progress in the video at the beginning of this post.

Custom slipcover project, March 2017

This is a slipcover I upcycled and dyed for a woman in SF. She had a nursing chair that her mother gave her and wanted to update the slipcover with shibori. The result was beautiful and she was able to give her hand-me-down new life instead of putting it into landfill. This is upcycling at it’s best. I bet you have something in your house we could work on together.
