beebalalou

art is most delicious - and humor makes it yummier. i make my pieces silly and joyful to bring smiles on your faces and maybe some funkiness in your heart. i'm inspired by childhood mine and my kidlet's (he's still making his). i never tire of plastic and kitsch. it's sublime goofiness tickles me to no end. luckily for me i get to sell my silliness and spread it around. be careful it's catchy.

Emily Kircher, Recycling Artist (EKRA)
Emily Kircher, Recycling Artist (EKRA)

Gimme that garbage! There are so many unwanted items out there that still have tons of potential. I save them from the garbage and transform them into new and functional items. Right now, I cut fabric salvaged from old clothes and linens and crochet it into purses and rugs, cut old plates and cups into tiles to mosaic found objects, use bottlecaps and books to make resin-filled magnets and pins, and thrift store yarn to crochet pouches and pet toys. However, I'm always looking for inspiration to use new types of garbage to make new things

Studio Cate
Studio Cate

Cate began her crafting career with two pointy sticks and a ball of furry red yarn. After immersing herself in knitting and accumulating a massive yarn stash, she decided to branch out to other crafts. Like sewing. Her yarn stash became jealous as her fabric collection multiplied and overtook the ever shrinking closet space. Cate is addicted to accessories, so she started making them. And then even more of them. Nowadays, she spends so much time with her Singer sewing machine that they are practically joined at the hip. Figuratively speaking, of course, since the Singer doesn't have a hip.

Studio Cate focuses on offering beautiful, modern accessories made from stylish and colorful fabrics. All items are lovingly handcrafted in a non-smoking, pet-free environment with utmost attention to quality.   Inquiries for custom work and wholesale orders are welcome.
