Creations from the rabbit wheel spinning in my head.
Rabbit Wheel Studio is the collection of original works and pieces created by Amber Bradshaw. What began as the desire to create her own dance hoop after taking a hula-hooping fitness class, soon turned into several requests to make more hoops for classmates and friends. The joy of hooping and making hoops as a hobby eventually became a job teaching the hoop class! It was inside those hoops that Amber began to feel the creative flow that then inspired her to take a mandala painting class taught by a childhood friend. That afternoon, painting with her friend, the ember of creativity that began with the hoops, ignited and like a fire out of control has consumed Amber’s brain with ideas, patterns, designs, and colors. Her creations range from mandala paintings and needlework/fiber arts to hand-stamped metal jewelry and keepsakes. Amber says, “I really just enjoy making things that make other people happy.”
The story behind the name Rabbit Wheel Studio... “As many of my friends and family know, I’ve collected rabbits for many years so that part of the name was kind of a no-brainer. The wheel reference is two-fold. As I began looking at my work as a whole, everything was circular. Hoops, mandalas, bracelets, necklaces. Round and round...like the ideas that spin through my ADHD brain...like a wheel! And so, as a little business began to grow from these things I created, Rabbit Wheel Studio was born.”
Amber currently resides in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and is the proud mother to a daughter and three fur babies.
