This year, my offerings are focused on what feels more resonant to me right now, which just happens to be ceramics, naturally dyed pieces for comfort and joy, and patterns that are more in alignment with who I am as a human now.

As I merge and integrate all the various versions of myself I have cultivated online, I seek to show up as authentic and true to self as possible.

On Plant Color, Natural Dye Practices, and Individuality

I do not seek to replicate in my natural dye practice and my philosophy around it is more relaxed and holistic. Therefore, you will see releases of small batches of work, individually created solely by me with time and appreciation for the art of turning plant into color.

On the Business Name

If you found me from YouTube or through my Substack you might wonder: why the different name?

Bambini Del Mare has been with me for over a decade now, and I think it speaks on how I feel about humanity. We are all children of the world, and therefore, children of the sea. I take pride in the details, doing things slow, and stopping things at once if they are no longer serving you or bringing you dis-ease.

I hope you will stay a while, and find a place to land for a moment of respite, from the fast moving pace of society.


FAQs

  • Made to order is a concept that I have come to love and appreciate because to me, it is an indicator that the consumer and the creator have an interlinking bond. They both share a similar overlapping value of reducing waste and being mindful of purchases.

    Although this is becoming much harder in the era of convenient, easy, fast, and cheap, I like to lead by principles of both maximalism, mostly in buying things that are having a second life with me whether they are used, thrifted, gifted, or found. I also appreciate to support artisans who like me appreciate the value and nourishment of making art with their hands.

    Made to order to me symbolizes the bond and dedication of maker/artist to supporter that they not only appreciate and value the work, but would like to support the artist by offering them monetary support and patience while their custom piece is being crafted for them personally with my two hands. If you would like to start a collaboration together, and you don’t see it under my offerings, please reach out and I will see how I can be of service.

  • To those of you who have been with me on my journey for a few years now, you likely will recall my sewing patterns. In 2020, I excitedly launched my pattern line I had been dreaming of for a decade and was disheartened in having less than 20 sales for an extended period of time so for now, patterns are no longer being offered.

  • SBF is my initials. As my work is quite personal and close to who I am as a human, I wanted to incorporate a piece of what I choose to share in my work.

  • Hi! So glad my work resonates with you. My goal with the ceramics division is to grow and offer smaller boutiques collections. I would like to build the brand in a holistic way and scale with intention, so I am open to collaborations that can respect my desire to keep impact on the planet low and remain as considerate as possible. If you would like to discuss collaboration, please feel free to reach out via email at Hello@bambinidelmare.com and title your email collaboration. Helpful tidbits of information I would appreciate would be the number of pieces you would like to order, your percentage of pay offered based on the sale, your date you would like the pieces by, and why you think we would be a good fit for collaboration.

  • I love this question! As I am a one owner shop and I do everything from create the pieces, marketing, to shipping and fulfillment, you can expect your piece to be shipped within one business week during spring, and up to two business weeks in the summertime depending on my travel schedule. If you have a gift in mind and are on a deadline, please reach out before ordering to see if I can accommodate.

    For Made to Order items, please allow up to 4 weeks for delivery. For Quilts, the timing will vary.

  • I do! I absolutely love to share information to small groups of up to 30 people. Feel free to inquire via email at Hello@bambinidelmare.com to see my current teaching offerings and if a collaboration is resonant.

  • Due to the nature of my pieces, I am not currently offering returns so really ensure that this will be a piece that will be well loved before purchasing.
