Kelsey’s picks
Kelsey reminds us that no house can be a home without a spirit lovingly haunting it or a creature lurking in a dark corner. Meadow monsters are the cryptids who have crawled up out of the Earth- created with wool and needle felted by hand. Shroomberts big and small are able to be bent in all manner of spooky poses. Daddy Pumpkin Legs aren’t dangerous but they do help anyone who stumbles across one feel like it’s Halloween every day. If it’s a haunting you’re after, there are little spirits awaiting adoption. Some have come from the forest, others from the candy factory, but all are delightfully spooky.
Jack Attackk Clothing – Jacki (she/her)
At Jack Attackk Clothing, we combine goth and punk elements with couture techniques to create one of a kind pieces for runway and clientele as well as designing inclusive casual pieces for everyday wear. All of our one of a kind pieces are hand-made by our owner, Jaclyn Robichaud Doyle, down to the most intricate couture techniques like beading and embroidery. In the past few years, JAC has expanded to include a variety of casual pieces; these pieces are either designed by Jaclyn or feature her original artwork and are reproduced in small batch runs. This allows JAC to create more casual pieces in a range of sizes. Each textile design begins as a pen and ink drawing that is then scanned, digitally traced, and replicated to make a repeat design. So even when you purchase something as simple as a tee shirt or skater dress, you’re wearing original art. Alternative Fashion Design made local, inclusive, and sustainable.
