Getting paid to listen to Coheed and Cambria and sew all day……ok my dream come true

I’m closing my shop in August. Until the end of the year, maybe longer. Job offered full time and I’m gonna go for it ~ I’m very happy 🥲 and am excited to make more ~art~ less ~ware~

A beaded necklace against a white background. The beads are made of glass, gemstones, and pearls in various warm and jewel-toned colors, and arranged randomly. The clasp of the necklace is stainless steel, and a small purple bead hangs from the end of the extender-chain.

one of these necklaces is called “Changes” and the other one is called “June” and they’re both up on my site now ~

Final day for shop until June/July/August 😳

Last week until my shop closes for a month! Ready-to-ship wares are available only. If you live outside of Chicago this is probably the last chance for many of these items :-) yippee

Happy 4/20. I don’t smoke weed. But I just had the best red bean bun of my life and the effects are pretty similar

I’ll be spending May making one of everything in my catalog for photos and IRL events 💆🏻‍♀️

This raffle is getting throttled on IG so… i’m raffling this papier mache good luck egg ornament for families in gaza. Details are in the slides. I will be donating to some folks I have a relationship with, and also to campaigns highlighted by @mommunism.bsky.social

When a commission is a gift I feel like I have to keep it secret until it is made. Letting you all know I may be making an item that is on my top dream item making list. What a treat

When I am drawing up your commission requests please know that I am watching Deadliest Warrior at the same time

When I start my gig in mid-April I will be changing the dye schedule for SurReal Tree goods ~ the turnaround time will be around two months instead of one. So if you wish to have a good by May now is the time to order or hold your peace until July

My update is that I have space for one more commission before I close them for good 🫰🏻 yay www.kakitake.com/commission

Cleaned and oiled my serger and it stopped working right. Ok my April fool

I’m thinking. Big shibori collection. April

Every time I post about a sale I get an order for a ware that is not on sale. I think this is very sweet and very funny. Don’t y’all want a deal

If you’re itching for a commission, now is the time to reach out since I will be closing them mid-April. Only going to be taking furniture commissions 🫰🏻

My audience is small enough here I will tell you all my secret. I got a job. Going to start focusing my attentions towards more conceptual pieces and furniture 🌀 so things will be slow around here. But I’m excited for what’s ahead and will continue doing the SurReal Tree wares >:)

Hello my Blue Sky ~ Huge SurReal Tree sale live now ~ 25% off any of the items I have yet to photograph in 2025 hehe ~

Write out a whole post then deleted it because I felt silly BUT we persevere. I collect vhs tapes. Ok. My rule is to only buy from thrifts. This keeps me from going nutso on eBay. Found two grails in rural Wisconsin at a thrift that was having bogo on physical media and all tapes were already 50¢. W

Yeah

Day trip to heal my brain (rural Wisconsin for scratchers and Casey’s pizza)
