Previously in Mexico… Wonder why I’m saying “previously”? Maybe I forgot to mention. I moved to Oakland, California. More on that later! A lot has changed and I want to find more time this week to give an update on my relocation back into the US. Super stoked about it! I will get back in the groove soon – there are a ton of ideas rolling around … Continue reading Seeing inside the Bird Trouble studio in Mexico…
Bringing you a few shots from my studio this week. A lot of Fall 2014 prototypes ( the weekender and the tote bag can be seen above ) and sample gifts are being made, and a night of overhaul cleaning. I gave away some textiles and I have another pile to send to a few crafters (I still have some if anyone, if anyone … Continue reading In the Bird Trouble studio this week…
It seemed like I worked full days, every day from Monday of last week, up ’til this Friday afternoon filling an order of about 50 products, one that was requested to be shipped out speedy style 7 days from the order request. It’s a great feeling finishing this project with such little time. It’s only me over here. At the end of the day, when I see how much … Continue reading Be chill and work. // Photos from the studio.
Here are some photos I took from the Bird Trouble studio last week. I was busy every single day last week with a custom order. That is so fricken’ cool to me.

I just want to make things but this fortunate … Continue reading Photos from the Studio
Stopping by today to share some shots from my bedroom and my studio. I’m so pumped about my new Cobra statue and the Mexican hanging paper balls I found in Tonala that are in the first photo.

Just a few shots from the studio last week taken by a buddy who was visiting me. I purchased some new textiles that you can see in the first photo. I started imagining romantic summer bags as soon as my eyes met them. I’ve been branching out to new textiles since 1) used materials are not as easy to come by in Guadalajara as it was to in Chicago and the States … Continue reading Photos from the studio & new textiles.
My little monster man Tyler Dude makes such a great model when I’m testing out the focus on the camera. He’s such a heavy thinker. I wish he could speak so I could know what he’s thinking about. Have I told you guys that Tyler is excellent at playing dead and also at galloping like a tiny pony? Yeah, a lot of people here in … Continue reading Happy Weekend from Tyler Dude + the BT Studio!
Bird Trouble Fringe Necklaces. Black ones not in the shop yet. One of my Guadalajara friends, Aaron, let me borrow his Canon Rebel because I was telling him how I have to resort to my iPhone and how I wish there were more depth in the photos. He’s my friend who came over to help me with the SS2014 photos. He brought over his beginner … Continue reading Photos from the Studio
Last week, I finished up a few custom and reserved orders. I made my friend a lovely fringed brown suede bag out of a fringe jacket that had once belonged to her mother. I was absolutely touched to have been asked to do such a sentimental act, especially for someone who I lived with in Chicago when I was 19 years old. A new & … Continue reading Recently in the Bird Trouble Studio.
Megan & Josh came over to visit the Bird Trouble studio shortly before I left to Edisto and seeing how that was a few weeks ago, I’ve been itching to share & I’m excited I found time today to sit at the coffee shop for some blogging. This would be part one of the studio tour. I sew in the sun room next to be … Continue reading Tour the Bird Trouble / part 1
This is where I work. I may or may not have rearranged it since these photos were taken. What do you think? I’ve been overwhelmed with work recently. Time is such a biatch! Not sure if I’ve gotten around to mentioning this, but I recently took a promotion at the hair salon. I’m blogging & doing social media for them now. I’ve been loving it … Continue reading IN THE BIRD TROUBLE STUDIO
