I've been taking some time off from creating because I burned myself out preparing for and attending AVC. Now that I'm ready to get back into the swing of things I have to move! I have a few pieces of jewelry and at least one bag that are completed and ready for a photo shoot, I have the pieces for at least 4 bags completely cut out and ready to be assembled, and I have two vinyl pendants and about twice that many earrings ready for their finishing touches. I fear it will be weeks before I'm settled enough again in my new home to let the creative juices flow. For the time being I'll have to be content with imagining my next new project...
I've been thinking a lot, as usual, about printing my own fabric. I already screen print designs on some of the fabric for my bags but I want to do more full-on fabric design; multiple colors and/or prints on a much larger scale. I have several ideas in mind-some done by me, and some done by "my artist". My artist and I have been preoccupied with our own art while trying to collaborate on prints. Perhaps once I've managed to catch up on all of my current projects I'll have the chance to dive into my latest fascination.
About Me
- Nature vs Machine
- I'm an Independent Accessories Designer from Madison, WI. I am inspired by street style, contrasting color combinations, vintage fabrics, and abstract design. My line, Nature vs Machine, was started due to a dislike of cookie cutter trend-of-the-moment items and poorly designed and constructed mass-produced accessories. I create as well as buy independently designed items. I prefer to keep my dollars circulating amongst fellow artists where it is needed and appreciated versus putting my money into the pockets of faceless corporations. Say no to mass-produced design!
Buy handmade!
