At the beginning of March I took a risk and signed the lease on a new photo studio. Then the pandemic happened. My dream of finally having a studio to put together shoots was met, but it was suddenly unsafe to have others in the space. I decided I might as well take some self portraits wearing one of my new hats - so hello, this is me! I make every single order myself, by hand, and also take all the website photography. If you ever see me modeling my wares, it’s not by choice - it’s because I need to photograph things and ran out of time (I’m always running out of time!), and I’m the only one available short notice at 3am to get pictures done. Hopefully I can afford the studio for long enough to get other folks behind the lens.

These “floating” product shots were an experiment. They remind me of UFOs, especially the shots from below. But gotta get creative in quarantine, right? This red harness hat will be added to the shop tomorrow at 12pm PST ❤

The Lydia Hat is sold out, but I was able to get my hands on some new supplies to make a similar style. Very limited! The Lydia 2 has a round crown and a slightly smaller brim, with the same harness details in vegan leather. Coming to www.apatico.net on Friday!

🖤 My dear friend @samanthareiofficial and I did a collaboration a few years ago and we wanted to find more ways to raise money for charities. We have been selling our headbands, wrist cuff and harness collaboration with 100% proceeds to benefit the Tamir Rice foundation. So far we have raised over $2500! Thank you so much!!! You all are amazing! Almost all of the fundraiser orders have shipped out this past week.

🖤 The Tamir Rice Foundation invests in the growth and enrichment of all children through after-school programs in arts and culture by allowing them to express their truth to improve their lives as they grow into young adults.

🖤 The Tamir Rice Foundation also seeks to advocate for police reform by advocating to change laws and implement new policies for the system with community oversight for police accountability and community reform dialogue.

This rainbow version of the popular eye choker is specially designed for Pride month, and 100% of the proceeds will be split and donated to two organizations:  Gender Justice League (@genderjusticewa) and The Solutions Not Punishment Collaborative (@snap4freedom).

“Gender Justice League’s mission is to empower all people to eliminate discrimination and prejudice based on sex, gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation in Washington State, and to ensure that trans and gender diverse people can live their lives safely, true to themselves, and free from discrimination.”

“THE SOLUTIONS NOT PUNISHMENT COLLABORATIVE IS A BLACK, TRANS-LED, BROAD BASED COLLABORATIVE TO RESTORE AN ATLANTA WHERE EVERY PERSON HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO GROW AND THRIVE WITHOUT FACING UNFAIR BARRIERS, ESPECIALLY FROM THE CRIMINAL LEGAL SYSTEM.”

The Rainbow Eye Choker is inspired by Surrealism, pop art, and an admiration for understated oddness. Bold and graphic, yet sleek and easy for anyone to wear.
