This week's Featured Handmade Artist is Intergalatic Rose. Like many handmade artists, Intergalactic Rose is small family business, that got it's start when Kate, had a beautiful baby girl in 2002. An experienced patchwork designer, Kate decided to shift her focus from making enough money to get from show to show, to making enough money to support her daughter.

Over the past 5 years, she has been able to work at home and raise her daughter, with lots of support from her family and wonderful customers. Each piece of clothing is made one at a time, with lots of love and great attention to detail. Drawing inspiration from music, nature, friends & family, Kate incorporates color therapy into her work, and uses high quality & sustainable fabrics to insure that you are buying a piece of handmade patchwork clothing that will be with you through many journeys.

Kate says, "Its really all about family -- our little family and our larger family on earth. I love what I do, and love sharing it with other people. Our mission at Intergalactic Rose is to share the beauty we see in the world, one piece of clothing at a time. We really believe in the dream, and your support helps our family lead the life we love and teach the children well."
