Started creating with tie dye over a decade ago to create unique outfits for me and my friends to wear to Bonnaroo. Since then, I’ve been continuing to dye unique, colorful clothing, outfitting friends & family in my creations. After much encouragement and many compliments, I decided to open a shop and share my designs with everyone. I hope that you find a piece that is as unique as you!

Mule Hollow Farm
I use the fiber which is humanely sheared by myself and my husband to make various things. I have English long wool sheep (mostly Cotswold), angora Goats(mohair), and an alpaca. I process all of fiber by skirting, washing and further processing it. I use a drum carder or combs to get it ready in batts or roving. Sometimes I dye it, other times I love the natural colors. I then wet felt, needle felt or spin it into something usable. I make Christmas ornaments, miniature sheep with locks and alpaca fiber, wall hangings, gloves, cowls and scarves etc. sometimes I blend my wool with other breeds’ wool to make cat caves and table runners.
West Fiber Farms
I want to have control over the raw materials used I my artwork. That involves sourcing and growing wool to spin, dye, and weave into a textile or being able to be picky in where my materials are sourced.
A main focus of my artwork and products is to reintroduce the consumer to what goes into making the textiles they use in their day to day lives. I also want to find the meeting point of sustainability, function, and aesthetics.

Gridwerk Trading Co.
I have always been drawn to the "long ago era" crafts like blacksmithing and leatherwork. I was growing my artisan blacksmithing portfolio when a shoulder injury requiring surgery and 8 months healing sidelined my aspirations. I had worked in leather off and on over the years but took it up in earnest while recovering from shoulder surgery. It can be a challenging medium, but I do love it.

Childlike Creative
Childlike Creative was created by Jasmine "Jaz" Parks, transdisciplinary and multi-medium artist and current master of architecture candidate at the University of Tennessee. She is very influenced and inspired by children and how they navigate and negotiate life, experimenting and responding in real time to everything. Kids are wise, candid, honest, bold, and they believe they can do anything and be anything or anyone. She admires their resilience, reliance on intuition, and playful experimentation and simple discovery of what it is like to be a human in the world through questioning and doing. Her undergraduate degree in child and family studies coupled with her first Masters degree in philosophy has resulted in an interesting personal and professional approach to making. Childlike Creative is the manifestation of both her personal ethos for making and the name of this shop and brand she has created. This shop carries jewelry, accessories, art, décor, and furniture designed for the sake of beauty and the joy of fun for lovers of beautiful things.
