What if camo wasn’t about hiding but about being seen? - My ‘Cowboi Camouflage’ reimagines survival gear as queer rebellion—neon-bright & up-cycled. Howl’s Moving Castle meets the closet. 🏳️⚧️✨ - #QueerAlchemy #WearTheSpell #queercamo #upcycled

Radical Queer Joy isn’t just about happiness—it’s survival, resistance, community care. In a world trying to erase us, queer joy is a refusal to disappear. It’s mutual aid, trans elders. It’s a protest and a lifeline. #RadicalQueerJoy #QueerResistance #TransJoy #MutualAid #QueerArtists

⚡️Radical Queer Joy is restocked ⚡️ - Slap it anywhere you need a reminder that queer joy is power 🫶 - #queerjoy #transjoy

Sun is out in PDX today 😍

Always thing about queer creativity and how it’s a form of sustainability. Reclaiming space/materials/traditions is radical in a world that tries to erase us!

Packing up another online shop order to go out. I love seeing what people put together! - Size Large Upcycled Cowboi Camouflage tee Fine art textile print Size Small dog bandana Two holographic Gender Euphoria stickers Two Daddy’s stickers - Thanks for support small queer business!

making things by hand isn’t just about sustainability, it about connection too. Every print, cut and stitch carries something from one person to the next, hand to hand to hand. Craft is community and queer craft is resistance 💪

Which #upcycled top goes best with this #handmade bag? - All available in my online shop link!

Packing up a cute order to send out! - Size Large black Gender Euphoria t-shirt, the Ultimate Queer Sticker pack and a RIP Thee Gender Binary mug. - Thanks for supporting small queer business!

I got some cool pattern inspiration for some textile designs after seeing the #ExquisiteCreatures exhibit at #OMSI in Portland last weekend! I also saw this frill necked lizard which I did an elementary school project about as a kid (I wish I still had that drawing I did of one!)

With The Trans Sustainability Project I’m hoping to help craft a more inclusive, equitable and climate-justice centered world with sustainability practices, trans advocacy and creativity. Turning isolation into connection and giving waste new life. #transsustainabilityproject

Merging some of my projects under one umbrella let me know if you want to collaborate! #transsustainabilityproject

An older special custom for Kieran! My books are opening tomorrow at 3pm for both customs and flash designs. (Beware I’m gonna be super obnoxious and post a ton of new flash on here)

Sunday’s Stitch & B!tch was awesome Thank you to everyone who showed up in person and who zoomed in virtually on Patreon. I worked on my latch hook rug. If you missed it don’t worry I’ll plan another one for February. Join the FREE tier on Patreon to stay in the loop.

Packing up some cute orders from my shop this morning

I’m trying something new this weekend, hosting a lil stitch and b!tch in person at my art studio. There’s not much room so I’ll be streaming it on my Patreon LIVE (free to sign up). If this is fun I’ll do another one next month!

The gender binary is fake news!

This is my first post on this platform, and I’m excited to be here. I’m an artist and run a small business in Portland, OR selling fashion and accessories with a focus on sustainability through up-cycling to fight fast fashion waste.
