Collect and Gather is the heart and soul of Shovel + Spade. When I’m not working you can find beachcombing the shores of Lake Michigan. This blog combines my love for our planet and the treasures I happen upon when I clean it. Tumblr

The spirit of the artist has always been the backbone of PRIDE 🏳️‍🌈 The Sound of Summer 💦 I’ll be running a Beer & Coffee deal at @cozy_collective_mke all weekend for Dads Day!! Pop in & say Hi! to Me 👋 this Saturday or Sunday! See what’s New & waiting for Ewe!! 🩵 Like these throwback RETRO Woolly Cups!! Limited Quantities Available • 🐑🍺🫘 My Flock ROCKS!! ♥️🐑🤘 Reflecting back on the last year of doing markets & shows again and it just feels so great to be lifted up and supported by my community. To take so much time away and then be so warmly welcome back by my maker friends and comrades has been icing on the cake. 🥹👯‍♀️ Though I’ve lived in (5) states I’ve been lucky to call Milwaukee HOME for the last 10+ years! This city is RAD AF, it’s edgy, creative, full of good hearted people, and don’t get me started on that Lake!! I’ve done a special collection of Woollys, exclusively for the @cozy_collective_mke inspired by our beloved “Milwaukee Flag,” to celebrate its rise & symbology over the last decade. Two of my long awaited fall fleeces, purchased at the Wisconsin Sheep & Wool Festival are finally back from processing.

Welcome Back HARRY!! 🩶🐏
Introducing Marion! 🖤🐑 Happy Pride Flock! 🌈🐑 Y’all are such vibrant & radiant beings and your authentic selves bring so much to our collective creative community!! I hope you’re surrounded by LOVE & able to be OUT, seen & PROUD of who Ewe are!! Now’s the time to be Radical AF for Queer & Pro Transgender Rights!! One for Ewe 🩷 #BVGN was SUCH a blast! 🚀🎨🎶 We all owe @betheatonpottery a huge thanks for throwing such a fun gather for Bay View Gallery Night! Both bands were super good & I’m feeling extra grateful for all Woolly love right in my own neighborhood!! It was cool to share my past work and have so many recognize the similarities and overlap in my styles across two different mediums. 🙂

My work combines the ancient medium of felting with contemporary form and modern color, by seamlessly encasing a variety of glassware and beverage items with a one of a kind, insulating Woolly sleeve. Each item is individually hand-formed, from local, ethically sourced wool. The movement and fluidity of working in the round allows for colors to dance and weave together creating organic contrasting patterns on every piece.
