Spirit Journey
Kirstin started propbuilding in 2011 with Lady Gaga's DISCOSTICK, and in 2013 she built SAILOR SATURN's SCYTHE and SAILOR PLUTO's TIME KEY for dressing up at the 1st Indy Comic Con. Kirstin made her first Spirit Staff in January 2014 in Muncie, Indiana for an event at BE HERE NOW.
She felt inspired to journey to the mountains of Asheville, North Carolina to be in the Nature. The SPIRIT STAFF explores the ideas of JOURNEY, PROTECTION, and SOVEREIGNTY. Taking inspiration from aboriginal journey sticks, dreamcatchers, our family heritage, the spirit of place, fantasy, magic, and Sailor Moon.
She enjoys creating niches in the woods and has taken her Fairy Light Workshop to events at Avalon on Lake Hartwell in South Carolina, and to the Deerfields in Mills River, North Carolina.
