Throw a ball of yarn at me and call me grandma

I'm revisiting my old knitting days. I can now be found knitting obsessively in any and all free moments that I have. I'm turning out scarves like nobody's business. The fruits of my labor will come to light soon.

I also find it curious how I seem to be attracted to activities that call for similarly shaped tools - drumming, drawing, knitting. Coincidence?

BUST Craftacular! It's happening!

Come out on Sunday for a really big day of shopping. Support local and handmade :)

AND...more new styles

These new beauties and more will be available this Saturday at 3rd Ward's Handmade Holiday Craft Fair in Brooklyn.

The Unnamed Band: Recording!

We have been working on this band project for some time now. Through the various stages of writing, having a bass player, rehearsing, not having a bass player, looking for another bass player... we have now moved into RECORDING !

We've got at least 5 super duper tracks that we're laying down and they sound seriously good. I can't explain how excited I am to get these out and start playing live! Will keep you posted on any developments :)

we hope the songs will sound like they were recorded here:

but this is a little more like our recording setup:

It'll all work out fine I'm sure.

New Stuff!

The Paleolithic Hobby Horse Pullover

New! The Chance Tank

The Chance Tank

In homage to Hans Arp. Our chance design is abstract and random - or is it divinely inspired?

Hans Arp, premier Dadaist, tore up paper, let it fall from his hands to scatter upon a surface, then he glued down the design, considering such chance patterns to be fate's work. "The law of chance, which embraces all other laws and is as unfathomable to us as the depths from which all life arises, can only be comprehended by complete surrender to the Unconscious."

Water-based ink hand printed onto an ultralight, oversized tank by American Apparel. Viscose, a rayon material that has a silky appearance and feel. This tank has a very sexy drape!

New! The Triple Helix Necklaces

These lovelies are now available in our shop :)

The Op-Art Crop Top

We are now and forever-
States + Kingdoms

Brooklyn Flea + New Style !

Sean & Jenna will be at the Brooklyn Flea in Fort Greene on Saturday from 10-5. We will be showcasing our brand new style, The Flower Orb tank. Flower Orb is inspired by 18th century Colonial quilts and it's super special.

The Necklace Collection

The Beaded Necklace Collection

We designed our necklaces with our key motives being wearability, style, timelessness, and creativity.

The works are physical versions of our abstract automatic drawings. We play with color and form.

Each piece is boldly colored, hand-woven and utterly unique.

Tomorrow...

is the day that we debut our collection to all of Queens. For reals, tomorrow marks the beginning, from which there is no going back. We will be out in the world!
