Bringing you spiky shit and bad photograhs since 2004.
In 2004 I handmade EVERYTHING from my hair extensions to my furniture. Partly because I was broke but also because I just really like transforming trash. Someday maybe I'll get around to myself. I originally made miniature cardboard notebooks out of trash (lol) with drawings from old, vintage horse husbandry books. The horses were often depicted in various forms of restraint, the women, also, in riding attire and the series was called Methods of Restraint. The skull logo is obviously a remnant of that and for the curious, it's an outdated example of Eohippus, the earliest ancestor to our modern day horse. It is inaccurate today and I've messed with it a lot over the years so don't @me but I'm not here to teach an equine evolution lesson. Like the horse, I evolved into what you see today. Although I still have all my toes.
At the time it was difficult to find non-leather options when looking for restraints or even punk/ goth fashion accessories although looking back, I suppose Hot Topic existed but ew. It was up to me and one other girl in the UK, I forget her name, to populate the earth (with vegan restraints). Back then I only used recycled (re purposed) materials which made things interesting for sure. I miss that. I can make anything when I'm forced to use what's there. I get to problem solve and that's what I'm good at. If you give me unlimited access to any materials I want, I have a very difficult time coming up with ideas. Turn me loose in your garage? I'll make you something amazing. I like plastics and rubber and I'm a hardware nerd. It's been harder and harder to come by used, useful materials lately so most of what you see is sourced new. The pandemic did weird things to my trash market. So forgive me as of late, I feel like I'm quite boring now.. I've included photos from the early (oh MySpace!) days!! Enjoy those, lol.
Please don't ever hesitate to contact me for whatever. I love you. If we work on something together just know that I miss you terribly when it's over.
If you are in the Bay Area, I do frequent Death Guild and various Cat Club events. Message me on instagram or something. I have no friends.
