Hello :) here to say all of the ~holiday~ catalog orders have shipped - check your emails for tracking!!
Been getting a flow of orders in without updating my good ol bleach schedule - so wanted to make a post about it for your reference. Late shop reopening and holiday orders derailed the schedule a bit - orders placed before the 14th I’ll try to get to sooner - just know that it’s no. 3 on the list of things I gotta do while cleaning and playing catchup before the new year.
If you are itching for a last minute gift for yourself or your loved one you can go to /category/ready-to-ship to see what can be shipped immediately - if you’re in Chicago and want to pick up from my home you can use code PICKUP - which will remove the cost of shipping - and we can coordinate a pick up time ;) same goes with the upcoming collection if you wish to wait. Yay
Thank you everyone again for such a warm welcome back in the saddle. I’m excited to see what this year brings 🌠
Hi :) SurReal Tree catalog is open once again. Some important notes:
〰️If you’re placing an order for the holiday season, please place it by December 1st so I have enough time to make and ship it out. Made-to-orders placed after December 1 will have second priority. No guarantee if it’ll reach you by Christmas Time.
〰️Being very intentional about rotating the catalog this year and beyond. Bucket hats and tool pouches are going to the vault and won’t be available buy after January 1.
〰️NEW PRODUCT: Tool Bag, Bucket, SurReal Tree Logo Apron, Sweater, Tote. Take a peekie at these ones I’m proud of them :)
〰️And, of course, new logo!!! For SurReal Tree items only. If you’ve ordered in the past and want to swap out the tag, let me know ;)
Whipping up some Snow Barks and have a collaboration with @hankmade.stuff coming up December 1. I’m so excited. TTYL
Hi :-) long time no see.
I have a super sale on some studio remains up on my webstore (anatanotomomoone.bigcartel.com) if you wish to peruse. Haggling is accepted I want them out of here!!! I also have 2026 calendars up.
I’m still SurReal Tree retired for now. Looking into what it means to make art for fun. Will report back soon
Hi everyone, I’m excited to share that I was awarded an Individual Artists Program grant from the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events @ChicagoDCASE #DCASEgrants 🥲
This grant will be used to kickstart a conceptual collection that’s been floating around in my head (conceptualizing, perhaps) for years now. Also will be upgrading my second-hand equipments. Thank you everybody who has lended me anything over the years: a tool, a hand, an ear. I’m overflowing with gratitude.
Been taking it easy around here, here’s a photo of my freshly cleaned home studio on the thrift store digicam.
Tending to some wares just in time for Thing-O-Rama coming up this Saturday, June 7! Details in second photo.
Will have some old things and some new things, such as a small collection of shibori-bleached wares. This is it from me for the rest of the summer - I would love to see you!
Photographed are two regular sized totes - outer pocket, inner pocket, lil d-ring for your charms. As always, dyed, cut, and sewn by your friend in Chicago USA 🌠
Two posts in a day. What a treat for you. Spend one minute dyeing a fabric panel with me - each panel takes around 7 minutes to paint depending on the size - and each coat takes around 7 panels.
Wanted to share this video I took in November because this is the fabric I dyed for the most recent coat I previously posted.
It took me 30 minutes to figure out how to speed up this video and another 20 minutes figuring out how to post a reel. Videos are cool because I can show you that Chicago rips. Thanks for looking
Custom SurReal Tree Chore Coat ~ Original

The second-ever lined SurReal Tree coat, two access point pocket on the body, breast pockets w/ snap closure on the lining, and the first coat with snaps (new in 2025) ~ for a fellow South Dakotan - thank you!
The SurReal Tree catalog is made-to-order and there is a lot of room for customization. It is always refreshing to mix it up ~ it keeps me sharp. You can view the catalog at and if you wish to customize an item shoot me an email ;-) thanks for looking
