ELECTRIC SUN CREATIVES

Instagram

Components of mobiles, wall hangings and light catchers-to-be.
I received such a rad response on these two light catchers, I’d like to try something new: 〰️ the “for keeps” collection 〰️ They are made-to-order listings that you don’t have to wait for a shop update to purchase. They will always be available, if you’re jonesing for a little more magic in your home or a loved one’s celebration is coming up (birthday, graduation, promotion, wedding or they just did a brave thing). You can purchase these two designs now at any time! My website link is in my profile ☀️
This week I plan to scavenge for more rad driftwood for wall hangings. Stoked to be working on more pieces for the next shop update 〰️
Sold out. I made 32 pieces for this shop update and they a l l s o l d. WHAT THE CRAPPP. Thank you thank you thank you. This little family of mine on that bike are the faces behind all of this. It’s all for them and because of them that I get to do this whole thang. Thank you for putting what I make in your most sacred spaces: your places of refuge, your homes — I hope what I make brings you so much joy; and thank you for supporting my creativity and my sweet family. So so grateful. Also, shout out to @josedigregorioart for the rad mural behind us ⚡️⚡️⚡️
When making my three-dimensional work you will find me on the floor shifting shapes around until I land on something that resonates— it’s one of my favorite parts of the creative process. Every time I’ve posted a picture of this practice —of creating the designs on the floor, the response has been so sweet. So these prints are an ode to that process and are now available. Instead of on a concrete studio floor, I shifted these brass shapes around on a beautiful speckled sheet of paper. Also, I loved and embraced the way the light & shadows danced on the paper by our studio windows. I snapped a photo and now they’re available as giclée prints on fine art paper — in two sizes via my website. ☀️
Thank you for the love on the shop update yesterday! If you missed it, my newsletter list gets first dibs when I make new work and put it in the shop. You can sign up via my website, if you’d like to hop on it for the future. There are three pieces still available for this shop update. Two driftwood pieces and one kinetic sculpture. I love making these things, guys. Just so grateful you put them in your homes & places of refuge.
These pieces for this next shop update are some of my favorites. Texture, minimalism, and a touch of kook.
I’ve committed for this season of creating: saying “no” more, even if it’s a beautiful opportunity. Because when I say “yes”, I say no to my family, to community & to a more peace-filled life. Also committing to acting less like a machine and more like an artist, by allowing myself space to have fun and explore new ideas.
“In filling the well, think magic. Think delight. Think fun. Do not think duty. Do not do what you should do—spiritual sit-ups like reading a dull but recommended critical text. Do what intrigues you, explore what interests you; think mystery, not mastery.” Julia Cameron
more “kook” please
Shop update coming sooo soon! My newsletter list gets the first chance to snag pieces for shop updates. ⚡️
Visiting the sweet humans behind @manna.shop & their lovely shop has been on our list for some time now. On my bucket-list: take a trip around to all the wonderful shops that carry my work. It’s been such a fun part of my business: building relationships with the humans that work their tails off for their shops, so getting to hug them & thank them in person would be the ultimate.
These light catchers made their debut at @echoparkcraftfair last month and were an absolute hit. This weekend at @westcoastcraft was no exception. New shop update with lots of pieces to choose from will be going down soon! ...these little bits of magic included. My newsletter gets first dibs when new work is made available. You can hop on it via my website, if you’d like. ⚡️
A love letter to @westcoastcraft: 3 years ago, you were a huge kickstart in helping my creativity and business go from a side situation as a stay-at-home-mama college-dropout that liked working with my hands, to a full fledged creative business, providing for my family in ways I couldn’t have imagined then. You gave me the opportunity to show people what I was doing on such a large scale that I hadn’t experienced before - it was a game-changer and I’m so grateful. You’ve also given me the gift of greater connection — of growing closer bonds with my closest and dearest maker pals — people with big hearts and a sharpness that pushes me to get after it (@urbapothecary, @younginthemountains, @sigilscent, @debbie.bean). I have to call out these 4 individuals because they’ve been pivotal in my journey— maker pals that I hold so dearly. Go feast your senses on what they all do. Pure beauty. Existing friendships have flourished and new ones pop up each time (tagging some of my favorites!). It’s one of my favorite parts about you, WCC. You’ve become a reunion of sorts, every six months, to see these people that just get it. They get the beautiful and the brutal of creating for a living. It can be a lonely endeavor, but they make me feel seen and supported. Beyond the chance to meet the raddest creative people in the biz, meeting the people who resonate with what I make is so fulfilling. Meeting new faces and getting to hug repeat collectors pumps me up so much! I get to explain my process in person, geek out on a shared love for brass & patinated copper and wrap up pieces that I know will be well-loved. It’s the coolest. So, thank you @westcoastcraft. I always come back from you with a new fervor to kick ace creatively, with heart and an extra pep in my step. You’re a gift.
lots of driftwood pieces are coming to @westcoastcraft this weekend
