Pillow Talk
Storytelling | Slow Style | Sustainability | Stitching | Stargazing | Strawberries
From sharing which colors I used to stitch a particular project, to my favorite slow style practices, and what it’s like to move to British Columbia with a marine scientist for a fiancé, I just want to leave this planet a little better than how I found it through art. This is one big melting pot of a creative outlet to feed my inexplicable urge to create everything under the sun. I love camping and couture equally and am trying to figure out the best way to honor both. Picking berries along hikes makes me happy and photography is my favorite way to interact with this one walk on Earth that I have been given.
I have never kept a journal, but wish I had. So, I shall tinker away at this outlet as my visual sketchbook with the help of some friends I find along the trail.
