Be the Change

"Be the change that you wish to see in this world."

-Mahatma Gandhi

We all have ways that we choose to support positive change in this world of ours. My way, I've decided, is through my art. I absolutely want to be politically active but I've found that making phone calls, writing letters to the editor, showing up at a congressperson's office, etc. is not a fit for me. But selling my art as part of fundraising efforts...well...this is something that I can do, have done, and will continue to do.

So...through October 20th I will be donating 50% of my original art sales to the Citizens' Climate Lobby (CCL), Texas 21 Chapter. More information may be found here. Let's make the climate great again!

Slouch Caps to Benefit the Southern Poverty Law Center

I just added slouch caps to my Etsy page! I made more, but I ended up falling in love with and keeping 4 of them! :-) And then there are the two I made for my boys...they love them, too! Here's my Etsy site: https://www.etsy.com/shop/KaliParsonsArt?ref=hdr_shop_menu

Anyway, I upcycle them from t-shirts, sweaters, leftover material, and anything else folks send my way. Please understand that I'm not a seamstress. I simply consider myself a "Queen of the Straight Stitch". So set your quality expectations accordingly.

Purchases of my slouch caps (and much of my other art) help raise money for me to donate. Sales of my slouch caps benefit the Southern Poverty Law Center...because they most definitely are not slouches.

And please excuse my selfie style photos...I'm the most convenient model I've got.

Thank you!

And I made another pussyhat...I love this one and it will be SO HARD to let go of it!

Its sale will benefit Planned Parenthood.

 

Pussyhats Fundraiser for Planned Parenthood

Kali is my name and making pussyhats is my game. :-)

I've added a few pussyhats to the fundraising section of my Etsy site. Sales of my pussyhats will benefit Planned Parenthood. I hope to make more over spring break. If you live locally (in Austin, TX) and can pick the pussyhat up at my house, no need to order on Etsy. Just message me so the shipping charges can be avoided. Thank you, friends! Here's the link if you're interested. https://www.etsy.com/shop/KaliParsonsArt?ref=hdr_shop_menu

P.S. I'm happily accepting sweater/fleece donations!


Here's what I've got on my Etsy site so far. 

Peace, Love, and Pussyhats 2

This is my second in a series I've titled "Peace, Love, and Pussyhats". Here's the link to the scoop.

Hmmmmmm...I'm thinking this would be super cute on a t-shirt!

My original paintings are available in my online gallery.

Prints of my art are available in my Etsy shop.

I'll donate $5 to Planned Parenthood with each print sale.

Peace, Love, and Pussyhats 1

I insist on being positive these days. And part of my positivity comes from figuring out things that I CAN do. And being creative is absolutely on my "can do" list. So, in celebration of peace, love, and pussyhats, I'm doing a series with that theme in mind.

Meow!

I had the best time with girlfriends Saturday night. We cut up old sweaters and made cozy cat hats. Here are mine! Perfect for wearing at the march at the Capitol if I decide to go...sometimes peaceful rebellion comes in the form of a homemade hat. "Meow!"
