My Great Grandmother, Sadie Green, lived to be 102. She was a tough and pragmatic woman who made a point to be efficient with her time and resources in her lifetime. She was also creative, crafting incredible quilts and passing the quilting art down to the women in the generations that have followed her.
I know i’m channeling the creativity of my mother, grand mother, and great grandmother when I produce creative works today. I appreciate that this is in my bones and that I can participate in a family legacy of this sort.
In honor of Sadie Green, I’m launching a set of zero waste products this Winter called THE GREEN LINE. I want these products to inspire and remind us that our work does not end with individual action. Even if we choose to opt out of single use products and eliminate plastic from our lives, we must also speak up. We must demand others do the same and the forces in power that produce these products and source what becomes available are sharing our ethos. All of my products will be both a utilitarian tool and a call to action.
So far, i’ve got a wood plate with laser etching, hand sewn napkins and reusable bags, bamboo utensil sets, and a coffee cup and water bottle in process. All of these products will be available on my shop.
Here is a peak at a few of the works in progress:
