All in Collaborations
When we collaborated with the National Museum of Women in the Arts on their exclusive Frida candle (shop here), they came and spent a day with us in the studio!Read the full interview on their blog and watch us pour some fresh candles below.
She is our eternal muse. Our forever role model. Our "What Would Frida Do?" go-to solution-finder. She symbolizes everything to us - power and strength in femininity; the courage to push boundaries with art; and still having life and spirit even when you feel trapped and stuck. She displayed so much of this in her life that it continues to inspire us, and so many people, years and years after her death.
I recently paid a visit down to the National Museum of Women in the Arts and found a portrait of hers there hidden within the walls.
It was my first time seeing one of her works in person and it was truly inspiring. It was evidence that the woman we idealize lived / breathed / painted. It was a connection to a whole different world.
I'm so excited to share these new additions to the Handmade Habitat family with you today. One of my firmest beliefs in life is that there is nothing better than getting a handwritten note in the mail, and my fridge will tell you that I am lucky enough to have the best of people in my life that believe the same. It's the surest way to literally send some love to someone when they need it most, or just when you want to share it with them.
