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

A bit later in the season, but such a mess nonetheless!! Did Ewe know that last year Wisconsin hit a record number for the highest level of nitrates found in our waters, blaming heavy storms washing away livestock waste & fertilizer faster that it can be absorbed. And, no…you can’t filter it out. It’s beautiful blue green color creates the illusion of “tropical waters” with the brilliant & beautiful streaks of blue and green, but are actually a huge contradiction in our Great Lakes.

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.
