Around mid-summer as I was walking home from work, I spotted a camel colored leather ottoman abandoned on the sidewalk. Instantly, I decide to run home, grab my fabric scissors and strip every ounce of leather from that poor piece of furniture. And so began the hunt; the hunt for curbside leather furniture and Los Angeles is brimming with amazing quality couches. From these couches I make mainly fringe necklaces and some other random creations. Take a look and let me know if you want to buy one, if the one you like is sold i can whip up another! and here are some other creations.
And my philosophy behind that is kind of my philosophy for life.... I love things that don't match, that are torn, ripped, stained.... I believe that if we constantly practice finding and recognizing the beauty in life's imperfections we can start to see the beauty in our imperfection and be satisfied with who we are.
