Welcome to another edition of Revolution Fibers' "Featured Artist" series. Today, we take you on a captivating journey with Becca Wilkinson, the brilliant mind behind "Cul-de-sac Cool". In a world where art meets life, Becca's story is a testament to the transformative power of creativity.
A Kaleidoscope of Talents
From the bustling corridors of high school, where she led the fashion merchandising club, to the theatrical stages of college, Becca has always danced to the rhythm of her creative heart. Her blog, "Cul-de-sac Cool", is a delightful window into her world, brimming with DIY crafts, heartwarming tales of motherhood, and enchanting children's stories illuminated by her mother's illustrations.
Finding Solace in the Threads
When the world paused during the pandemic, Becca discovered a new rhythm: the soothing, meditative art of weaving. Inspired by several talented fiber artists on Instagram — including Monica at Mocha Blue Fiber Art, Jen Duffin at Nova Mercury, Lauren Mooney @ The Eddy Line Co, and Aja Smart @ Strand Texture — her heartstrings resonated with the intricate patterns and textures of woven art. Their creativity and passion coupled with the inspiration Becca draws from nature; particularly sunsets, mountains, trees and flowers, kindled her own flame and forged her unique style of fiber art. Her continued expansion of her craft led her to Revolution Fibers, a haven for artists in search of the finest weaving supplies.
