Felt

I first picked up polymer clay as a hobby back in 2000. I was bored and decided to go to the craft store to figure out what could be interesting to make. I found polymer clay and have been hooked ever since!
I used to focus more on clay figurines, but now I mainly do charms and magnets.  I also work a lot with origami papers and decoupage.  And I've recently started incorporating my photography into my crafting by making photo pendants, notecards and wood art blocks!  I also like sewing with felt and do make some small keychains and baby books.

 I like to think of myself as an artist, but find it impossible to do that full-time. I started making crafts as gifts for Christmas one year and then decided it was a great way to use my creative energy while I was between paintings. I try to use as many recycled materials as possible since I hate putting things in the trash. I never follow directions, so all of my items are designed by me without a pattern - this inevitably frustrates the ladies at the craft shows asking me how I made something.

My work is play, using humor and irreverence as a way to explore and examine the world, to weigh up human behavior and emotion in all their forms, to call things unsparingly by their proper names.
 
I take my point of departure from the complicated time in which we live. I like to stomp in muddy puddles of cognitive dissonance. I am attracted to questions more than answers. I love old tools and shiny garbage. I'm invested in the possibilities created by slowness. I believe in the high-five.
 

A little about me,myself and I: Soule,(pronounced like soul) was born in Warshin'ton state. Growing up in the sticks, I, me and my only friends were tree dwelling creatures. One day me,myself and I became incredibly lost and stumbled upon the "city" and discovered a wheat pasted poster. Not only visually appealing, it was delicious,me loved it. I and myself had to learn more about this new discovery, so after befriending some city folk, I, myself and me branched out on our own armed with spray paint, stencils and ink.

I make clothing from a mix of organic, new and upcycled materials. Each piece is individually handmade and one of a kind.
