superphoebe is taking a short break

Note from shop owner Hi! I'm supporting sellers who have turned Etsy into a very rich company with their hard work. I have been on this platform since it was months old. I'd love to see it be organized around sharing the joy of handmade and unique art rather than organized around hoarding money and internet power. YUCK!

Libraries, Cats, Film, Oregon, and Recycling

I started selling homemade things on Etsy in the early days, and quickly found a wonderful community of lifelong friends who had also been selling and shopping at homemade craft bazaars in church basements. You'll find a wide range of things in my shop, varying all of the time, because I have quite few interests! I basically love anything fidegety.

My main passion has been making lamps- I don't know if it helps me get through the 9 months of dark rain in the Pacific NW or not, but I made my first lamp out of a coke can in the 8th grade, and pretty much couldn't stop after that. The slide lamps started in undergraduate school. I studied filmmaking and had to shoot many many 35mm slides to edit into shows before I could move on to motion film. Combining them with the lamps I was already making just kind of fell into place! Now that I'm a Librarian, it feels even more like a perfect fit.

I also love to screenprint, cut out wood and work with wire and other materials. There is an immediacy that you just can't get with film, and I am delighted by that!

You'll also see my feature film Tammytown in here. It's distributed by Indiepix NYC, and it's an 80s teen comedy. it's also available on Netflix and at a lot of libraries if you just wanna check it out. A lot of love and hilarity went into it. The year we made it was one of the happiest of my entire life.

And, oh yeah, I LOVE cats! i totally wanted to be one when I grew up.

    I'm a Portland, OR based Librarian & crafter--making things (with an eye on reuse) devoted to librarianship, cats and Oregon. My inspiration comes from wanting things that don't exist, daydreams, and vision quests.
