I’ve always been a sucker for beachcombing, and the clean bleached lines of driftwood are among my favorite seaside treasures. Much to my husband’s chagrin (and to my swordfighting children’s delight) I have been collecting an ever-growing pile of it in the garage. I have used it in the past for mobiles & other textile projects, but broom-making is most definitely my new favorite way to re-purpose driftwood.
Welcome to my new website! It feels amazing to finally have an online home to share updates, host a gallery and storefront, and advertise for classes and other fun events (hopefully starting this fall!) I owe a big thanks to the lovely Brandy over at Branding Alaska for helping me sort out all the bugs of a WordPress site and getting me trained up to run this page like a boss!
It has been a bit hectic the last month as we had to do some renovations and earthquake damage repair on our home, and get the garden planted, because summer in Alaska waits for no one. I am finishing up a couple of wholesale orders this week and starting a new project (which I will share more of soon). *Spoiler alert * It will involve brooms and driftwood! I hope to have the shop updated with some new treasures the first week in June. There will also be some custom spots, so if you have your heart set on a particular type of broom be sure and snatch one of those up!
Lots of works in progress around here, so stay tuned…
