Thanks! Yup, I did. I have a degree in ~fibres~. Truthfully though, I didn’t learn any of the technical skills I use now in university. I taught myself Photoshop and Illustrator through trial & error and online tutorials, and my illustration has grown through practice alone.
my patches hanging out with descendents, hwm & owls makes me a happy camper
I think I have a bit of separation anxiety about actually sewing my patches onto my clothes.
just ordered some of this printed on cotton to make pennant flags ft. my boring girl motto. as if i need a reminder to stay home. pfft
some barn swallows and more sappy lyrics.

Thank you! I just finished the edges of two old sugar sacks I found at a garage sale. You can find lots of similar ones on Etsy and they happen to be nearly the perfect size for pillows.
sneak peek of something that will be coming to the shop this week.
a custom patch for victoire boutique - i made them a bunting to match too! stay tuned for a giveaway of this patch in the upcoming weeks, it will be the only one available through me. otherwise you’ll have to get your butt to ottawa.
Working on new bits for a fun collaboration. I can’t wait to blab about it, but all in good time. (Taken with instagram)
My boyfriend Nick opened a vintage shop that will function as the menswear side of Young Captive, which I’m stoked about because I always find great men’s clothes and have nowhere to put them! We’re offering 20% off this week with the code “ZEUS20” - the service standards are up to snuff with my shops and some of the sweaters in there are things I would totally wear. Also feel free to convo either of us to combine shipping with anything from my shops! Check it out & take advantage of the discount at Achilles Vintage.
I’m now offering custom illustrated patches at feverfew. For $60 you get a custom drawing of whatever your heart desires, an 8” x 8” canvas patch and free shipping directly from the printer. If you’re in a gang who needs back patches multiples with the same illustration will be at a super low cost so hey, get in touch! xo
sometimes you just have to scan in some Brand New lyrics and post them on tumblr. because you’re 15.
tumblr tends to make my scarf designs very small and hard to see, so here are the bigger elements from the last one.
