Metallic Dip 2.0 (Metallic Lined) are in the bud shop now, but not quite yet online. Despite my best efforts to discourage folks from wearing their earrings to bed and in harsh conditions like showering and what have youthey do. So, give the people what they want- the most durable metallic LINED beads for the metallic dip design. The same care instructions remain, but it will take longer to wear them to death, and if they are well taken care of, should not die of natural causes.

Metallic Dip 2.0 LINED.

Basic beaded studs are a total fan favourite. This is a classic stitch, executed with the intention of a minimalist and contemporary feel.

I have reimagined the original metallic dip beaded earrings! The remaining stock is on sale now for $30 (was $52) to make way for the metallic lined version coming very soon! People REALLY want to be wearing their earrings outside of the OG dip care instructions, so I’m going to give the people what they want with the metallic dip 2.0. Steal yourself a pair of the originals while supplies last. (Be sure to follow the wear and care instructions though.)

Brand new pronoun phraselets ready today. Available in super neutral copper with black, or brass with caramel.

There are now some retro card bundles in my Etsy shop!

Hi all, Im thrilled to announce Ace Ferguson Studio, the bus location, is open now for visitors with new safety measures in place! The new universal guidelines apply here: If youre feeling ill, please stay home. ... But if youre feeling well, and youd like to visit, please come by and check out our new safe setup. I have liquid hand sanitizer outside the door by the tree, and Im also sanitizing the bus handrail frequently. For physical distancing measures, I have an awesome new door sign. Check the sign when you get here, green for go, red for stop. Once youre in with your bubble crew on green, Ill flip the sign to red to prevent others from coming into your space. Part way down the bus is a large sneeze guard that separates you all in the front from me in the back. If youd like me to mask up though, please just say the word, and Id be happy to cover up. Probably most importantly regards touching. For health reasons, everyone visiting the bus needs to look with their eyes and only touch what they intend to buy. This is not a tactile friendly environment. Health reasons aside, its actually very bad for my art to be caressed, poked, and prodded by endless fingers. Its a courtesy I would appreciate to continue beyond the current pandemic. The art is my lifes work, and the bus is practically an art installation in itself. Please ensure the use of strict gallery manners on board. Ive put out lots of price signs, and laid out all the items so they are totally visible. Im happy to answer any questions! Mainly, Id like us to be kind to one another, and work together. This is my version of safety measures considering the suggestions, requirements, and applying creative solutions to my unique model. If you feel unsafe, please let me know. I will do my best to address any weaknesses that may arise in my safety system as the first visitors experience my setup. With caution, kindness, and mindfulness, Im really happy to be participating in Phase 2 with all of you! Thank you so much and we hope to see you soon! Kate & Ace

Looks a little different in here! Open for business as of today. Im technically still setting up. First week is always the toughest!

Red Light, Green Light. This contraption was very important to me for the safe reopening of Ace. Once you get up the stairs, youre basically in someone elses space should there already be a customer inside. Now I have an overhead pulley sign to indicate green for go and red for stop before rocking up the stairs. Stay tuned for reopening day!

Tuesday, May 26, 2020.

Monday, May 25th. I am VERY happy with how this has turned out. On the road to being able to safely welcome the public into Ace again.

Sunday, May 24th. Sneeze guard day two.

Saturday, May 23rd. I guess Ace is getting more stuff. Day one on the sneeze guards.

I reckon the dividers will be complete tomorrow which is a huge step in the right direction. Staples, you can tell Im doing this myself.

Isolating with art is ab fab! Here is part one of my freeform crochet Polaroid project. @polaroid #FTCMusicClass submission for @arkellsmusic to help raise another $25,000 with @RBC for @foodbankscanada Materials: @knit_picks @wecrochetofficial Wool of the Andes yarn in worsted weight.

You may or may not have noticed that the downtown location has been closed this weekend to reflect on the current health crisis. The situation is unfolding rapidly and the the likelihood of opening again as scheduled is dwindling. My shop is nonessential, and the best thing I can do for my community is to take a beat, follow the current rules to the best of my ability, stay home, and in turn be encouraging others to do the same by not providing a place to visit. I look forward to the day that we emerge from this social distancing reccomendation, and build each other back up, as we are all facing this hardship together.

The most ambitious project to date! A freeform crochet replica of Milton Glasers 1967 poster of Bob Dylan using @knit_picks yarn. @bobdylan

The Guacamole Series. Two down, five to go.

This design was inspired by an outfit I saw several times in a small window of days this winter. Now I see it everywhere, all the time! Im very proud of this new design. They take upwards of 8 hours to create, so Im taking my sweet sweet time coming up with new colour combinations.

Im SO pleased with this new design. All the mountain babe, plaid chic vibes.

Workshop Schedule at a glance! A bit of a blurry glance. How do you make a PDF into a photo?! This is the best I could do. -Kate

Ace got a small makeover this year! Still a studio. Still a shop. Oct. 22, 2019

Tomorrow is it for 2019!

Mini Onions are here! The Guacamole Series can resume.

View from the stairs

New work seating!

This space makes my heart so full. Im so thankful to have him back in action. Supposed to be a nice day, so we will be downtown from 10-5 starting today (Tuesday) through Sunday!

This little pyrite number has the essence of a tulip.

Introducing, my incredibly wrinkly palm. Theyve always been this way, its my thing.
