Podcast with Kat O'Sullivan

Oh, my. Oh, oh, my. When I first saw these

that's all I could say, over and over. See?

Then I found out that Kat was also a world traveller, once had a complete make-over on Jenny Jones (wherein she gave up her green mohawk), and had followed the Grateful Dead on tour. Been to Burning Man, hitchhiked across continents~~well, you get the idea: a really fascinating person making really fabulous artwear. And then recently someone (I think it was Kathy, but dang if I can find the note--I'm *so*sorry!) suggested I talk to her. Well, duh--why hadn't I thought of that? Because I need y'all's help, obviously. So I contacted Kat and we set up a conversation. I won't even tell you how I called her on the wrong day because I forgot which day we'd scheduled it. Yiiiii. Yeah, it would be scary except I've never had a memory to lose.

And so here she is. She talked to me sitting in her bus--up there in the photo--in a parking lot, hiding from someone circling the bus, surely wanting to know more about who was driving it and why it was filled with sweaters.

Here's her Etsy shop, and here's her website, where you can dig around and find stories about her travels.

Enjoy!
