New Online Collective Shop

New Online Collective Shop
 
I've just added a new section to my online shop, called the "Collective Shop". The Collective Shop offers a curated selection from some of my favorite local, independent artists.
 
With community over competition in mind, the Collective Shop brings you candles, jewelry, stickers, soaps, and more.

 Why an Online Collective Shop?

Well... I had this idea for an Online Collective Shop months ago. I wanted to diversify my website, and promote my friends' work. But, with the latest COVID-19 situation, and in-person events cancelled for the foreseeable future, I couldn't think of a better time to launch this new collection on my website.

Full-time and moonlighting artists (I'm in the moonlighting category) are finding themselves in a very difficult situation. Our events have been postponed or outright canceled for the foreseeable future. Full-time artists depend on these events for the bulk of their income, and moonlighting artists, like me, depend on this additional income to sustain ourselves.

We're in this together, and a bunch of us artists have banded together to promote one another. This is my way of supporting & promoting my friends.

Adorn Home Fragrance: Adorn Home Fragrance is a Chicago-based company that carries handmade candles, incense, room sprays, and reed diffusers. Our candles are made in Portage Park, Chicago using beeswax --a natural and healthy substance used in candle making since ancient times-- and coconut wax--a bi-product of the food industry and made from cold-pressed coconut oil. The carefully selected formulas allow for a sustainable, clean burn from all of our products.
