Hi! Welcome to Blushing Bird Studio. My name is Callie and I've been running Blushing Bird Studio since I created it the early 2020's.

But, I started making things before I can even remember. I was told I would use Kraft Dinner boxes to make shoes and walk around the house with them.

From there, I experimented with glitter, my mother's fine linens, our house drapes, and really anything I could get my hands on. Scissors were usually kept high away from me, in places I couldn't reach, otherwise my parents would come home from work to discover things cut, and glued back together. Sorry Mom!

 

 Once I was old enough I ventured into my father's workshop and started making bird houses with routers, saws, and chisels.

As I got into my late teens, and early twenties, almost every gift I made had to be finished with either wood, fabric, or glitter. It wasn't until one day that I made a card for a friend that I was told I should be using my creativity to make more things for people.  Several years went by and I had several small requests for handmade cards.
 
One request turned into two, and two turned into a whole lot more. 

After I married my husband in 2015, I quit my full time photography business, purchased a laser cutter and began my journey into the unknown art of laser cutting.

Today, I currently work out of our home in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario and run a full time small business called Blushing Bird Studio. I draft, design, cut and ship all of our products throughout North America and occasionally the United Kingdom.

 

When I'm not working, you can find me covered in paint and saw dust, building something for our house, or spending time with our two dogs.
