The amazing stitchpixie is none other than Vancouver, BC artist Cyan (Cheryl). She’s been drawing, dancing, writing and taking photos since long before she was even a teen… her passion is evident and she’s lived by some sage advice once given her: “Don’t make your passion your career – it’ll suck the fun out of it.”
Thus she’s a full-time pharmacist, juggling side interests of photography, ballet, lyrical, and jazz dance, all the while crafting and mailing out orders in her free time. Talk about busy! Just listing that makes me dizzy! Combing her talents she designs, produces and photographs each accessory herself- no small feat considering the quantity. However she’s about the designs- not mass production… which is great when you want something unique and well crafted that feels handmade and special.

Her vinyl pouches and wristlets are vegan-friendly with simple modern lines (in 2 or 3 punchy colors) cut with themes in everything from reproduction to nature and city scapes. The OTHER great thing about Stichpixie is that 10% of proceeds from stitchpixie.com go towards sponsoring a “hope child” through world vision.
“In addition to the clean water, food, health care, education, and spiritual nurture a child through world vision receives, a hope child also benefits from AIDS prevention and counseling as well as care for sick or dying parents. sponsor a child, a hopechild, or a family through world vision today.”-stitchpixie.com
I don’t think it can get better than that- but it does- she also donated a goat to a family in 2006!! which means regular dairy products and added income from offspring sold… one goat can make all the difference in the world to a family.
Stitching together works of whimsical functional fun, stitchpixie is definatly one to watch and on my shopping list!
