Art Business coach Alyson Stanfield said it so well:

New Experiences add to your palette.

New visions force you to think differently.

New encounters ask you to question the same ole same ole.

We’re thankful for the time and opportunity to step out of the studio whether it’s to our local museum or something more exotic and far flung. We know this habit inspires us and we’re thankful our clients are patient when we have to pause shipping to get out and about. Here are the results of several stoles that were inspired by our travels —

At the time of writing this post there is still one edition of this stole with the bold graphic leaves inspired by our work in Haiti. The base fabric is eco-friendly and made from recycled bottles collected off the streets in Haiti. See it in full here.

At the time of this post this house blessing stole is available in a chaplain length. It was inspired by our travels to Cinque Terre, Italy last summer. See it here.
