I’ve had a few people ask me why I’ve changed my name from Hand and Palm to Sun Made Studio so here are 5 reasons:
1. I created the name when I first started sketching (hand drawn palms, hands and other things) so I used this name to start insta and hopefully sell some of them, initially with no intention for it to become anything bigger.
2. My work continues to evolve as I discover and have fun with my style but the root and vibe is always the same, I feel Sun Made Studio expresses my ethos better.
3. Hand and Palm started to feel restrictive to other avenues I want to explore and didn’t make sense or felt odd paired with them.
4. I’m not a Palm reader (although would love to have the knowledge and confidence to do this) I would get asked in the shop about this quite a lot.
5. I don’t sell soap either, this one was quite strange but happened a couple of times, being asked while they stood in my shop surrounded by art and clothes ‘so what type of soap do you sell?’ 😶
and while I don’t usually let others influence me these last two tipped me over the edge 😂😅
This hasn’t been a quick decision, it’s been playing on my mind for a long time and now just felt right 🌞 I’m still getting everything transferred over (more than I realised!) but it’s been worth it for the spark it’s given me and the positive reaction from everyone 💛
Thank you for embracing this new stage with me - new name, same art and other lovely things!
