Beaches and banjos, like bread and butter ;) road trip weekend up north to play for and witness the most beautiful wedding I've ever seen. Now if only I actually took pictures of it... • Silk chiffon dress for the occasion, finished on my portable sewing about 1/2 hr before D: congratulations on your fairy tale, @ripeskin and thanks @casscleave for the conversation and laughs and lovely photos <3 #beach #banjo #harp #harpist #wedding #wesportca #sewing #memade #memadeeveryday #music #musician #california #roadtrippin #roadtrip #travel #travelgram Looking forward to playing an early set at @amnesia_sf this Thursday evening 6-8:30pm if you're kicking about the city!

It took me 13 months and was hard as hell. I went from zero construction knowledge or experience to putting in windows and siding and flooring and building my own cabinets. Amazing what you can learn when you need to. Haven't lived in it the past 2.5 years, but it continues to shape my life in the most positive ways. Best decision I ever made.

Here's bits of one I wrote last year about an alcoholic, called 'Whiskey Garden' #harp #singersongwriter #harplife #musiciansofinstagram #musician #singer #song #sing #harpist #celticharp #whiskey #whiskeygarden #artist #guitar #indieartist #sfmusic #sfmusicscene #blues #bluesharp #pickupjazz #musicians #rockandroll #drinkwhiskey #music #video #livemusic I make most of the basics in my daily life. Leatherwork, sewing and jewelry making are skills I've worked at because: I am obnoxiously picky, generally broke and truly hate shopping for overpriced, poorly crafted 'trends' made by the tens of thousands in countries with shite human rights laws. I don't post much on what I make because from the outside it seems a bit unrelated to music, and it kind of is if you look at things separately. But for me, creativity and music are just sub sections of the same expression. Music is perhaps my main outlet, but sometimes it's sketching or knitting or anvils and hammers and some days it's booking binding or stamp carving or carpentry or sewing a new shirt instead of doing laundry. In whatever way it manifests, the drive to 'make' is at the absolute core of me, and probably the only reason I'm somewhat sane... other than putting my music out there, my passion is to inspire others to create their own necessities, so I've decided to post more of the things I make. Starting with a few from this year that get a lot of use... A handful of shirts (one I screen printed with my logo) a leather bag and jacket (the jacket took AGES but I love it) some second hand Frye boots I picked apart to the basics and 'edited' (adding buckles, straps and rivets) a skirt and cut offs made from thrifted levis, (I lightened the wash on the shorts with bleach, they were the most boring, mid-blue color before) a smattering of jewelry for myself and others (mostly made from sterling silver, hammered stainless and silicon bronze welding rod) and (gasp) lacy under things. Odd to put out there but believe me folks, when you can make your own understuffs, it's a game changer. And that's it for now, if anyone is still reading (or believes I'm still somewhat sane ;) what do you like to make?? Or want to? #memade #memadeeveryday #memade #sewing #creativity #create #make #singersongwriter #musician #musiciansofinstagram #fabric #sew #sewyourown #minimalism #minimalist #minimal #basics #fashion #fashiondesign #designer #diy #fakeittillyoumakeit #leatherwork #leather #leatherjacket #lace #bramaking #makeyourown #creative #artist Sunny, birthday morning harp vibes <3 #harp #birthdaysagain #birthday #harplife #harpsofinstagram #singersongwriter #bluesharp #musiciansofinstagram
