heart open.
Do you know I put myself to sleep every night by closing my eyes with images of textiles and ideas. I didn't realize for many years that wanting to go against the grain in meetings, project assignments, management, and even relationship, was really /is really part of my DNA. I'm learning that my love of texture, textile and making, has me feeling closer to that which I am and have always been. I am patterned, not plain. Pattern; consciously ornate, embellished, adorned. When I moved my studio to home, I found and reclaimed new spaces such as the long hallway with the large window facing the forest. I take breaks, sit on floor with coffee in hand, and watch the rain fall or the sun peek in. The first year of my lil small business was about branding, learning from my mistakes and finding my way by actually taking myself seriously + realizing I had something to share with the world or at least myself; The possibilities, reinvention and belief. Still listening for next steps and ventures. ✊🤞🙈 @ Portland, Oregon
