Wear Your Words



One single word can be very powerful. Words are not just letters scrambled together, they have meaning, and lately I am finding one "word" can say it all for me. People throw around words everyday and often we have to "retract" what we said because we didn't "intend" what originally tumbled out of our mouths. I want to encourage people to think about what they say, and the words they choose to dance upon their lips. Words are dynamic, let's not dilute the power of language.

I came up with the idea to use scrabble pieces one day while my friend Bob and I were trolling through vintage shops and flea markets looking for old furniture. There was a vase full of old Scrabble pieces, and I immediately pulled out my journal and wrote down the idea to make barrettes out of the letters.

I can create a scrabble barrette out of any letters, contact me with your favorite word, name or place and I'll turn it into wearable art for you. Two, three and four letter words work best, but five is doable :-)
