The Homegrown Crafts Philosophy
Crafting and creating are my way of life. Working with my hands and using them to create something tangible is more than a hobby. My passion is using raw materials to make goods that can enhance ones life in some way. Function and art go hand-in-hand as far as I’m concerned. I’m inspired by colors, textures and materials and all of the unique and creative ways to combine them. I work with as many different mediums as possible and draw on any skill necessary to complete my ideas, I like to utilize techniques like painting, drilling, or modifying objects to achieve the desired result. My creativity as well as my attention to detail sets my goods apart from the rest. I am lucky to be able to share my love to create; Homegrown crafts is my avenue to get some of these inspired quality made goods into the hands of people who can love them and use them for years to come.
The items I make and sell have a function, whether it’s to serve a specific purpose in your home or travels, or if it’s just to visually enhance a space. I draw inspiration from many sources, be it traveling and nature, my passion for music, or the love of my family. Variety and freshness are inherent in the things I make, and I give myself room to try out new ideas in my creations. In my shop you will find machine-sewn goods like blankets, bags or pillows, as well as hand sewn cross stitch and embroidery. I offer jewelry that I have created created using a variety of styles and materials. Selling reused,recycled or vintage items allows me to involve people in my passion for reducing our environmental foot print.
Working on custom art for my clients is one of my favorite opportunities; drawing from a persons idea, I’m able to turn a creative vision into a reality. From making custom-designed wedding items or gift elements like jewelry, custom embroidery and fabric goods, to collaborating with other artists and designers, it’s exciting to work together to create something one of a kind.
Every good I produce is made with an environmentally conscious approach. Growing up on the ocean, I was taught early on, about pollution and recycling and this motivates my business practices. Homegrown Crafts works with suppliers who are eco conscious, I am also focused on running an energy efficient, low waste operation. Finding opportunities to re purpose old items and connecting vintage finds with buyers helps reduce waste and promote awareness. With the support of my loving husband (who is my successfully self employed role model) and my family I have built Homegrown Crafts from the ground up. I am now a full time mom and artist and I have never been happier. I look forward to where this road will lead. Thank you for taking the time to visit my site and let me know how I can meet your needs for some quality Homegrown Crafts.
