up and over

One month from now I will hang my show, 'up and over', at Rare Device in San Francisco! The show will run from July 2 - July 30 with the opening reception on July 11 from 6-8pm. It will feature wall hangings, watercolor plant portraits, and air plant holders. I might even have a selection of fiber jewelry available for sale. Hope you can make it!

Open Studios

I will be participating in the Art Explosion Open Studios on April 4th, 5th and 6th. My studio, #328, is at 744 Alabama St (cross street is 19th) in San Francisco. I will have fiber jewelry, wall hangings, plant pockets and some framed art for sale. My new studio mate,  Jen Kindell, will have lots of amazing screen prints for sale. Come on by to shop or just say hi. We're in a great neighborhood filled with excellent cafes, restaurants and shopping. Hope you can make it!

Wunderfaire!

I am selling my wares at this year's Wunderfaire, a craft fair put on by IDEO in San Francisco. It's all happening on Thursday, December 5 from 4:30-8:00pm. I will be selling my fiber jewelry as well as my plant pockets (the sewn ones and the knit ones too!). It's at IDEO Pier 28 Annex on the Embarcadero in San Francisco. There will be over 40 vendors, delicious food, live crafting events and a percentage of the proceeds directly benefits these three organizations: Creative Growth, YBCA Young Artists at Work Program and IDEO.org. Come by, say hi, grab some delicious food and knock some of those items off your holiday shopping list!

Meet the Makers Event and Trunk Show

I am participating in a special Meet the Makers Event and Trunk Show at Marion and Rose's Workshop in Oakland on Saturday, November 23, 2013 from 1 pm - 4 pm along with glass artist Jess Wainer. I will have lots of items for sale including new necklace designs and my plant pockets, both knitted and canvas. It will be a fun afternoon so stop in and get some one of a kind holiday gifts. 

Plant pockets now at Magpie & Rye in SF

My hand knit air plant pockets are now available at Magpie & Rye in San Francisco! Each one is unique, made from either linen or nettle fiber and hang from a piece of driftwood from the owners collection.

art for SFBC's Winterfest 2013

I am donating this piece, called Spin, to the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition's annual Winterfest art auction. Come to the event on Sunday, November 3, place a bid and raise money for SFBC! I am a daily bike rider in SF and this organization continues to do so much to make it safer and fun to ride here in the city. I love that I get to be a part of helping them make things happen. 

West Coast Craft

I will be a vendor at the upcoming West Coast Craft, a craft and design show featuring carefully selected designers, artists and craftspeople living on the West Coast. It promises to be a fantastic event and I am creating some new items for the show. I am super excited that so many of the talented folks I know will also be there showing and selling their wares. Come and support hand made! Hope to see you there.  

West Coast Craft takes place November 16 & 17, 2013 from 10 am - 6 pm at Fort Mason's Festival Pavilion in San Francisco, CA. 

New plant pockets in my Etsy shop

I just listed a few of these tiny canvas plant pockets in my Etsy shop.These hand sewn pockets are perfect for air plants, collected stones, or any favorite item you want to showcase on your wall. They are made from canvas with two hole-punched leather tabs that can be used to hang off nails or hooks. I came up with these pockets to feature my ever growing collection of tillandsias. I am working on a larger size pocket as well and will post these when they are available for purchase.
