There are a lot of causes that need our support these days. Today, any Kansas drivers with a trans history suddenly had their license revoked. I'll be donating to trans orgs in red states, as well as the Trans Continental Pipeline which helps people relocate. I’d encourage you to do the same.

But we’re not the only group under threat. As the month comes to an end, media attention is no longer on Minnesota, but ICE and CBP are still active – and our impacted neighbors there need help covering rent, groceries, and other expenses.

Any sales from art.miriamsuzanne.com between Feb 26-28 will go to support families at a south Minneapolis public school near friends of mine. You can also donate directly to the GoFundMe linked above.

Here are some other highlights in my shop currently:

Also: your handwriting

Erin had the idea to ask a young friend of ours for hand-lettering, which I traced and carved into this series of dispenser bottles for sope, shaempo, and kindishinr. We also made “❤️ mom & dad” tumblers using her parent’s handwriting. If you want something similar, reach out!

Coming soon: light jars

I’ve started making lamps with a lid, labeled so that you know what’s inside. These aren’t up for sale yet, but I’d love to hear from you if you’re interested in one! They’re made from translucent porcelain for a nice glow when closed, and then a more dramatic pop of light when open.
