The Solarpunk Manifesto ☀️ herb

POV: You’re ready to stop Doomscrolling and start Do-making. There is something so radically optimistic about the Solarpunk aesthetic—it’s the idea that the future isn't a neon-soaked concrete jungle, but a lush, green world where we actually know how to fix things. 🛠️🌿 Whether it’s getting your hands dirty in a community garden, learning the lost art of tailoring your own clothes, or finally mastering that herbalism kit you bought last year, these hobbies are a quiet revolution. It’s giving "community over consumption" and "craftsmanship over fast-fashion." 🍯🪕 In a world obsessed with the next digital shiny object, choosing to build, grow, and repair is the ultimate act of rebellion. Let’s build the bright future we actually want to live in. 🕊️🌻✨

While the world outside feels like it's constantly rushing toward the next big thing, my Texas studio has become a sanctuary for the slow and intentional. I’ve been sitting with the idea of "stillness" lately—not as an absence of movement, but as a deep, protective presence. My latest journal entry, Guardians of Stillness, is a reflection on how we can create anchors for our own peace.

When I read this I thought of several things my mother made me when I was small. They didn’t have embroidery, but they did make my child heart sing with joy. I suspect this is why the makers’ movement and DIY has such appeal today.

Here’s a very fancy fox I’ve made for my friend Maria for her birthday this year🎉 I’ve used a very unique, hand-dyed Aida cloth for the background material, and honestly this photo does no justice for how beautiful it really is 🦊

Pattern purchased from CozyEveningStitch on Etsy.

This custom snake sleeve sweater was an attempt to capture my client’s favorite snake, the Australian Tree Snake!

I used Tosh sport for the green and Sweet Georgia Yarns Sport

We’re going to in-laws for this Christmas. I figured it doesn’t make sense to get a tree and the whole affair if we’re not going to be at home. But a nice festive cloth I got from my grandma and a few decorations can go a long way.
