Hey!!! !!!! I always forget to update this now, but here are some recent things what I have made!
I wanna take a minute to talk about my process. I did have pins manufactured and I do not make my own fabric and thread but I try to have every possible, controllable part of my art done by my own hands. The field of sewing is not an easy one to make money in; I’ve worked in factories, for small businesses, corporations, etc–at no point in my career did I ever make enough money for my range and depth of experience. This doesn’t come down to individual companies, but a whole world of industry growing into more and more ways to take advantage of workers. So I want to minimize the effect I may have on industry by taking my time and making things slowly and from scratch. That way there are less people involved and less people being taken advantage of in my art process.
It’s going to be impossible to completely minimize my footprint, but anything I can do, I want to try. That includes making my own embroidery designs, on my own computer, and sewn on my own machine–or sculpting my own elements, dyeing my own fabric, etc. And when I don’t make my own embroidery designs, or buy something dyed by someone else, I don’t want to take that credit for myself. (The bat lace on the brown bat doll was designed by daydream designs and sweet [email protected])
These last few months have been a test of kindness that has, thus far, proven we all need to be as kind as possible to make up for the lack. Maybe what I do isn’t enough, but I’m really going to try.
