"I've never seen anything like that before!"

The first thing people say when they see my creative mending art, followed by:

"Oh my gosh, that's so tiny. How do you even see that?"

This J. Crew Cashmere
needed some help...

a few patches and some beading later...

it's back on the road as a wearable work of art!

I've always loved tiny things. And now, living out of a suitcase six months a year, I understand why our nomadic ancestors made art they could wear...and carry.

Ilove to find beautiful objects in closets, thrift stores, and flea markets (sometimes by the side of the road!) discarded for just a few small flaws. I have a few small flaws, too, and I wouldn't want someone to throw me away because of that…

So I pick them up, bring them home, and give them new life.
