Bring It…Road Work!

March 20, 2009

We decided to create a window display that poked fun at the road construction that is happening right outside our door.  This “FIERCE” dress was constructed from caution tape ( look out Christian Siriano).  I have had several fathers that wanted to buy the dress for their daughter’s high school prom. Could you imagine!!???

During this time we will be open regular business hours.

Welcome to Ragged Dog, a playground for artist Stacie Fletcher.

Combining found objects and textiles both vintage and new, Stacie uses a free-stitch motion on aregular old sewing machine to create one-of-a-kind pieces layered with distinctive textures and singular meanings.

She has no rhyme or reason when beginning a new piece ~ she simply allows the rhythm of her irregular and excessive stitches to carry her to a work of beautiful imperfection. A work that is wearable. Enjoyable. Functional. Art.

These ragdolls are my mod spin on an old classic.

I hand embroidered all the faces, I also use recycled vintage fabrics for their clothes.  Each doll is unique.  Plus they all have cool dos, who doesn’t like a side pony?

Fluff Ur Pillow??

December 14, 2008

This is a custom pillow I created for a customer of mine.  I worked from a photo they brought me of their house.  I started by resketching the photo of the house.  Then I created several small patterns of the architectural elements.  I use a variety of wool felts, upcycled sweaters, free stitching and hand embroidery embellishments.
