Art vs Artist 2025
I couldn't help but make two - one for sewing art and one for non-sewing art. I do what I want.โ๐ผ๐
I am really proud of so many of the sewing makes I put my name on and sent out into the world this year. More than that, I am immensely grateful that people out there value my handmade, custom, and one-of-kind creations enough to pay me for them. Thank you!!๐ฅน๐
Some highlights: I made lots of hoodies and cozy comfy children's clothes, upcycled a ton, got more comfortable with zipper tape, made a hand sewn tie from a wedding dress, and gave new life to more than half a dozen old quilts by turning them into other things.๐ช
I also made more non-sewing art this year than probably any other year to date. Surrounding yourself with other creatives *matters* (in real life, online, or both!). I found some wonderful online artist friends, made a mixed media piece for an art collab within a greater art community, and had the pleasure of teaching and making art at with so many amazing humans. Showing up, experimenting, and fostering a safe place to create is the foundation for a creative life and I really felt that this year.โค๏ธ
Thank you to those who have been there this year to inspire me, to cheer me on, and to kindly answer my incessant questions when trying something new. Notably:
Print making master: .tikki.tavvi,
Pet portrait pro: ,
Inspo for trading cards: .
Excited for an even more creative 2026!๐งต๐ชก๐จโจ
