Triburban Crochet Project - How I make my items travel the world
Triburban is all about traveling but for the last few months travel has been very limited in my world. So a few months ago, I had a great idea. I love to travel and I love to crochet, so why not fuse the two together? I can make the things that I make travel the world.
My idea is simple. I reach out to my friends and family who live all over the world and I ask them to create an item with me. We work together to come up with a product, color scheme, material, etc.
I then send it to them and they take pictures with the item. Those very pictures I then put in my store to display the new custom made item, now available for anyone who wants to purchase it.
The very image becomes a literal translation of what Triburban is and means. To be a citizen of the world, to transcends space and cultural boundaries. My friends get an awesome personalized item, I get inspiration, and the item gets to travel the globe!
I am so excited, I just sent out my first item to my friend Heather in Denver, CO!

Heather went with a neck warmer with tribal buttons. I really love how it came out. This item is available in my Etsy shop and comes in several different colors.
I will be updating this section as I complete more items in this project, so make sure to check back in.
As always, I love custom orders! If you have an idea, please contact me via e-mail, Twitter, Facebook or my store. I would love to get creative with YOU!
