I think I get more questions about painting and finishing my hats then I do burning them.

So I dove into it. I made a FREE video painting a baseball hat from start to finish for a virtual conference happening NEXT WEEK. I talk about my supplies, my favorites, what does and doesn't work for me. We touch on adding fabric under the brim and lacing on the side.

Want more info? Let me know below and I'll hook you up ❤️

Okay I swearrrrr they changed the formula.

I bought a new bottle of Mod Podge for the first time in a while last week. I have always slightly watered it down to use it for hats to get a better consistency. But this new bottle (same exact kind I always use) required no thinning, and I used twice as much as what I normally would on the same type of project. It was so runny and the stick was just meh.

Anyone else experienced this? It was Mod Podge Matte

Also I didn't even realize how helpful the Brim Builders would be for this project. I was able to lay my pieces under the stencil and cut out perfect curves to place them around the brim

I saw someone ask the other day what goblin art is.

Sometimes I just want to make the weird stuff. The things no one asks for or probably wants. The art without rules or expectations. Not what's trending. Not what's practical. Not for content.

And I want to do it without stopping to second guess or overthink one single thing. My desk turns into a chaotic mess and our downstairs has a supply trail of little scraps and tidbits that fall from my arms in manic rushes between my craft shelves and work space.

Sometimes it produces nothing at all. But that's okay. It's not really about what comes out of it. It's about the unrestrained process of just creating. And for any artist, if you know you know.

This laser engraved baseball hat turned out so cool. I think next time I'll try some masking tape around the seams to make getting those lines straight easier.

I need a "zone out" project tonight while the lasers run. I haven't made a junk journal hat in so long, but I used to love making them. No burning, no painting. Just goblin art at it's finest with a fresh bottle of mod podge.

We are sending out a batch every day of our Brim Builders. We have one last shipment of acrylic we are waiting on, and once it's here we will be able to finish fulfilling all Brim Builder orders. Jimmy has been packing boxes like a madman and I may have nightmares from the reptitive screeching sound of that tape roller 😂 iykyk

I currently have them out of stock on the website so we could get caught up... and they may not come back. I don't know. I can say I don't think I'll EVER do Preorders again 🙃. The amount of people yelling at me, filing claims, charge backs, etc every single day because they didn't read the product title or thoroughly written description has been absolutely overwhelming.

It costs nothing to be kind. Or patient. Or understanding. When someone asks me why I don't want to scale my business, my immediate first thought is... people. Because I'm an extremely introverted neurodivergent in a world that wants more more more. Faster. Louder. I want less. I want slower. Quieter. Simpler.

But then I have some of the most amazing, supportive customers that remind me I belong here in this weird little niche I created. And for them I keep showing up and creating and trying to open doors for them to allow them to also create and thrive.

So days like today when I have nothing new to show you, I'll keep choosing to connect. Even if it's raw. At least it's real. ❤️
