Hi Friends - As you have probably noticed I have taken a step back from Ms. Matilda, this has been for several reasons, you know life. I’ve been looking to re-evaluate Ms. Matilda’s future and the craft that I loved so much just feeling well... less inspired as of late. And I’ve struggled with making any new designs because of this.
This last year - I have also been putting my extra energy into a new venture as you may have noticed if you saw me at Renegade last May, I had incorporated some vintage wares in my display, the difference being those were also for sale. This was the introduction of ( if you will ) my new shop, Native as Folk which is my humble project of living a more sustainable life by sourcing vintage and pre-loved handmade goods and giving them a second life. This new concept has been an exciting one and one that I feel very passionate about in a whole new way. I still love to create and by no means plan on stopping that. In fact, that is the whole point to figure out where my creative path will take me next.
While the future direction of Ms. Matilda is still unclear, it is by no means an end. You can still shop my cards, prints, stamps, and totes online www.etsy.com/shop/msmatilda. I hope that you will follow along with Native As Folk as well. Maybe they will become a joint effort, or perhaps they will continue as separate shops, who knows, and that’s the beautiful part about growth. I can’t wait to figure it all out. Thanks for all the support and love since 2013.
