Semisonic said it best: “Every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end”. And with that, this beginning’s end has come to a close.
In 2003, I started this silly hobby with 3 bits of pipecleaner. The rest is history. Making these figures and expressing my art in such a unique way has been a blast, and I do not regret the past 20-some years I have dedicated to it. But as I entered into my 35th year on this planet, I felt I needed a shift in terms of my happiness and my passions. I still love making things, but I know there’s only so much growth the "Fuzzforge” brand will bring me (Especially because the furries took the .com version of my website name).
I have always struggled with finding my place in the world. My career, my friendships, my life… but something I have continued to excel at is my ability to sew and make things. Finally, I decided that I think its time we move to something else in terms of my identity, my branding, and how I present myself.
That is why, effective immediately, I am retiring the branding of “Fuzzforge". Within the coming weeks, the changes will hit social media and the website will be making a drastic change. I’ll still be making art and the occasional pipecleaner figure, but now, it’s time to focus on my passions, and this website will be a reflection of that.
Thank you for your support over the last 20 years of this journey. Its hard to believe that 3 little pipecleaners brought me to this point in my life. Please provide me a little patience as I begin this transition.
I truly hope you enjoy this new beginning.
