If I do what I think I’d like to do, I’ll let you know after I do it…! (Art, markets, and more.)

Spring is here, which means I’m extra anxieted (anxious + excited!!)  It’s all good, though.  We’ll get everything done, right?  And if we don’t…that’s okay.

Today I’m rambling about my somewhat newfound appreciation for working with “traditional”/physical art media.  And, we’re starting a farmers market!!! Yay!

Niching out: ready for holistic creativity and a refresh

Niching out: ready for holistic creativity and a refresh

A lot of people who educate about "content creation" talk about the benefits of niching down...and I think it probably is a great strategy. However, right now, I'm feeling compelled to niche *out* and share a more holistic type of creativity. Also-- I think the Moth and Rust blog and brand might be ready for a (slight!) refresh...today I'm chatting about where my mind is right now, so I hope you'll hang out with me for a bit!

Endless Inspiration in Wichita: Stitching, Shopping, and Sustainability (Plus: I recant!)

Endless Inspiration in Wichita: Stitching, Shopping, and Sustainability (Plus: I recant!)

I've been out of the loop, but I feel myself slowly easing back in!! There are so many great things going on right now...or maybe I'm just now noticing?! Whatever the case, I'm excited about it. Today I chat about inspiring Wichita makers, recant on Li Ziqi, and give a quick garden update. Also, the fundraiser I mentioned last episode has finally launched! Total net proceeds will be donated to ICTSOS, a Wichita-based organization helping to fight human trafficking. Listen to learn more!

Cheating at Art?? Plus: the Joy of Weaving, Artist Emily Houtz, and More...

Cheating at art...is it even possible?! In this episode, I muse on the validity of using certain techniques when it comes to creating. Also, I talk a bit about rigid heddle looms and how they can be a great asset to almost any textile enthusiast. Plus: one of my favorite artists, Emily Houtz!

Junk Journaling, Clay Creatures, and Philosophical Farm Life

Junk Journaling, Clay Creatures, and Philosophical Farm Life

This week I ramble on about a favorite paper-related craft of mine that I rarely make time for...(and I'm trying to change that!) I'll share just how useful this satisfying and eco-friendly craft can be. Also, I'm very excited to share this week's featured artist who is sculpting adorable creations, and a great homesteading channel I recently discovered...
