Hi! 👋🏼
Let me reintroduce myself.
I’m Rachel. I’ve been working full time as a fiber artist since 2020… after working 20+ years as a massage therapist and reflexologist. Now, I never go anywhere without my crochet bag with me.
I’ve learnt so much in these past 6 years…mostly the hard way thru a lot of failures and self-doubt. I treasure every bit of hard-earned wisdom that has led me to having a successful business I’m really proud of.
My art was conceptualized long before I picked up a crochet hook… I wanted a textile art that sourced from dead stock and upcycled materials and incorporated single use plastics and could raise awareness about the losses we have with our reefs. Lastly I knew my art needed to benefit the ongoing efforts to rehabilitate reefs and corral. After understanding the full circle opportunity this work could provide, I then set out to acquired the crafting skills I needed to produce these soft sculptures (hence all the trial and errors).
Thanks for following along on my journey… Just for kicks and giggles here’s 10 random things I wanna share with you today:
1) I’ve moved 26 times in 2 continents and 4 states
2) I’ve been collecting vintage textiles since I was 15
3) For most of my life I’ve been considered “the musical one”
4) I have never missed an episode of Survivor
5) I love collecting found things… snake skins, sea glass, stones and cicada shells…anything really.
6) I have Swedish clogs in 10 different colors
7) I speak Spanish, sign ASL and am learning Japanese
8) I have the privilege of organizing the coolest little pop up Market ( ) once a month with 50+ other makers
9) I’m pretty convinced I possess the power to turn street lights on and off
10) I enjoy a Thai spice at a 5/5 level.
