The Rug Weasel

Totally forgot to post this charming piece for a commissioner from Father's Day! I love doing lettering, and what better reason for it than to celebrate everyone's favorite defunct Mexican restaurant?? I hope that proud dad is out there remember the good old days every time he sees this 🥰
Do you have a rug you'd like to commission? Send me a DM and let's talk about it!

Sky Seal tufted rug ✨🦭🌈☁️
She's looking fish, no? Sorry, I meant looking FOR fish, flying amongst the starry rainbow clouds...
This rug is one of my largest, most complex, and highly polished pieces to date, and I'm so happy with the result. I spent ages just perfecting the design, and don't get me started about tufting the cloud swirls or sculpting the stars! But it all paid off in the end and now this seal is ready to find it's forever home or gallery (or maybe just live with me forever, I'm not complaining 😍)
If you missed seeing this rug at show today, you can catch me again at the Akron Art Festival!

Recent commission as a birthday gift!



Keep reading for personal life update
I promise I'm still out here working on rugs ✌️😭 But I took a break from Instagram after my last art show and kinda kept it deleted until today. Oops sorry not sorry. It was great to take a break from social media and it helped me find a way to re-evaluate the importance of my art and my small business.
Moving forward, I will be on Instagram only one/two days a week. I will be taking a half-step back from making rugs to focus on other projects, including my third book of poetry (nearly complete!) and a novel (barely begun!) It's my goal this year, as it was last year, to become a published author, but in 2023 I let my rug-making business totally take over. I need to remind myself I have other dreams as well.
If you've read this far, thank you! I hope you will continue to support me in my rug-making journey! It's far from over and I still have lots of ideas I want to bring to life, and lots of spaces for commissions as well! So stick around, because this weasel has lots of work ahead of them! 🤘😤
