Housefinch & Otherwise

Why Housefinch?

The name started with a bird.

A house finch built a nest on my patio, and I started paying attention.

I learned that the pair stays closely bonded throughout the breeding season, and I was struck by how devoted they seemed to each other. I also loved the male's bold red head, a beautiful, distinctive look that made him impossible to miss.

There wasn't a grand reason I chose the name beyond that. I just liked this little bird, the story, and the things I noticed about them.

So when I started making things of my own, Housefinch felt like the right name.

The rest is still being figured out.

Housefinch & Otherwise is a one-person shop in Arizona.
