Bohemian Bunnie

Bohemian-chic art, music, fashion, design and vegan lifestyle.

Indigo dyeing workshop.

Indigo tie dye. You’ve seen it on dresses, home decor, macrame, just about anything that can be dipped I’ve seen turned into beautiful bohemian pieces of art. This past spring (yes it’s taken me a solid 6 months to get these photos up on the blog) I had the amazing opportunity to attend a Japanese Shirbori dyeing worksop by the indigo expert, Juniper & Fir. I love getting messy (my boyfriend can attest to the piles of watercolor palettes and paints lying around the house) and any type of artistic event that can inspire me to keep creating, I’m always down. 

Dowel rods, rubber bands, string and small wooden pieces create millions of different pattern varieties.

Using little discs clamped onto the fabric can create awesome little hexagon flower patterns.

I blue myself!

A cute little vintage tank I’ve had in the garage for a while needed a little makeover…

Horizontally folded and then wrapped in bands creates the look below.

Can I borrow your living room, Tina? What a perfectly curated space!

Besides being the expert in anything shibori, Juniper & Fir is holding a macrame workshop coming up this Sunday here in LA!

I can imagine an entire wall of uniquely dyed shibori squares. Thanks Juniper & Fir and Tina DeLeon for hosting such an inspiring and creative event!

For future workshops keep up with Juniper & Fir’s events page!

    I’ve always loved the look of Shibori, but unfortunately, I actually hate getting messy (because I hate the cleanup). I’ll be happy to buy finished products though.

    I would love to be able to learn to do this! And I think I just might have to designate a wall in the house for some dyed shibori squares!

It’s been a while since I introduced myself. Hi! It’s been a while since I introduced myself. Hi! I’m Andrea Whitt, musician, artist, stylist and model. 
I get asked often about my pedal steel playing and thought I’d share a little of my musical journey.

My first instrument was guitar when I was 8. I was given an acoustic guitar for Christmas and by April I had taught myself a handful of songs that I had my friends sing along with me at my 9th birthday. That year I started playing viola, and went on to get my masters degree at University of Cincinnati CCM in viola performance. I was getting so tired of playing the same classical rep that I joined the jazz department. 
I moved to LA after college, and as a surprise to myself was able to support myself doing music full time. Except a gig as a spray tan artist, but that’s another story 🤣 A huge part of my musical career has been teaching private lessons, group classes and conducting youth orchestras. 

I played in rock bands, orchestras, did sessions, random gigs (many shitty ones) until I landed the gig with Shania Twain. I was hired as a violist and fiddle player. I purchased my first violin for this gig and went to local bluegrass jams to learn fiddle styles, definitely fell on my face every time. It was when I was in Shania’s band that I saw a pedal steel for the first time. I was obsessed. I immediately ordered one off of eBay and had it sent to my hotel room in Vegas. Being a Grateful Dead fan I decided the priority was to learn all of the iconic Jerry Garcia pedal steel solos. Note for note, I taught myself steel with all of Jerry’s signature licks.

Shortly after the Shania gig, I got hired to play in Zucchero’s band. A three year world tour to 48 countries. Even though I had only been playing steel for 3 years I got to perform on steel on a handful of songs every show. When you’re sitting at a new instrument in front of 20,000 people you learn fast!

Now pedal steel is just as much a part of my career as viola and fiddle. Thank you for supporting my journey, many of you have been following since my first steel post. I have lots of new announcements coming soon, thanks for joining me on this long strange trip!
