Shovel and Spade

The idea behind Shovel and Spade is all about collecting and gathering to rework and repurpose. My love of craft and nature and desire for a sustainable outlet has led me down this route with nowhere to turn around. All the goods are made from production waste or found items from resale stores; except for functional parts; ie waxed linen thread for binding books, metal clips for hair pieces. The ideas and products will continuously be changing given the materials at hand. I hope you find something fun in my craft and enjoy my great attention for detail. Comments & photos of you and my craft are much encouraged.

After living in Portland for the last 6 yrs, I have just recently relocated back to the midwest. I'm looking forward to all the flea markets here as well as some good thrifting & rummaging. I'm looking forward to teaching again and want to teach art to students of all ages; As I am a resource of information and have knowledge of a variety of mediums and printmaking processes. I have had a crafty kick to me since I was little and have been doing a bit of that in an ecofriendly fashion. See shoveldandspade.etsy.com - I have worked as a freelance surface designer in the past, invasivelife.blogspot.com and I had the opportunity to work as an outdoor kindergarten teacher and snowboard instructor on top of all my art teaching in Portland. I have also had the opportunity to intern as a graphic designer at Promowest Productions and as a seamstress at Portland Garment Factory. My constant yearn for change and love for experimentation and nature has carried from my art and craft into my occupation; I love that everyday is different. Go outside and don't forget to dance.
