Maize Hutton

Maize Hutton grew up in the middle of Montana and wanted to be a go go dancer when she grew up. She loved to wear her white go go boots and practiced "shakin it" every chance she could. Each Saturday morning she'd watch American Bandstand and dream of dancing on the show with all the beautiful people in California. Maize started sewing in the fourth grade when she created her first pair of white bellbottom pants with turquoise balled fringe and she's been making stuff ever since. She's a self taught artist currently creating jewelry from silver which has been recycled from film. Maize's life ambition is to discover the best antifrizz potion for her naturally curly hair. p.s. She also created a trend called Mommy Tags!

Glamscience

Glamscience also offers sparkly beaded knitting accessories for the glitter-minded knitter.

Little Pagans

Little Pagans offers T-shirts and bibs for babies and toddlers that celebrate pagan, alternative, and Earth-centered themes. You're not raising your kids the same way as everyone else on the block, so why should you dress them that way? Our bright, playful designs will bring a smile to your baby's face. Great for wearing to rituals and festivals, or just for hanging around and exploring the world.

We print our full-color designs by hand on 100% cotton T-shirts made by American Apparel, a domestic, sweatshop free manufacturer. Our tie-dyed tees are dyed personally by us, and are one-of-a-kind creations.

For supercute parent-kid matching outfits, or for the young-at-heart, we also offer our designs in adult sizes S-2XL.
