Funny stories from artisans - May 2020

The lighter side of being an artisan business

Recently, I decided to create one of my own crazy custom design ideas: a pair of glasses. I thought of who I could see wearing them, Lizzo, and went from there. I went through so many frames, but finally I was able to create one pair that had “Lizzo” in gold letters on each side of the frame and another pair that had “that b*#%@” on each side. I didn’t want them to go to waste so I found her stylist on Instagram and decided to reach out and tell him what I created. Lo and behold, he loved them and asked if I could send them to Lizzo! Then, she wore them!!! I was shocked!!!
