Collection: Ficklesticks

Ficklesticks were born in a cozy garden-view basement workshop in San Francisco, California, in 2007 before the owner married and moved to Little Rock, Arkansas. Now Ficklesticks offers product to over 300 boutiques & galleries.

"To keep up with demand, my crew of artisans and I work full-time sewing tiny strips of gorgeous pieced fabrics into tubes that are turned right-side out and filled with wire. These are then maneuvered into beads, flowers, and medallions and combined with bungee cords, potholder loops, elastic bands, and finally, they’re dusted with magic and sent on their way!"

"Martha and Abe are the backbone of Ficklesticks. Sewing in their own workshops, they are my Ficklesticks makers. Using their design skills in combining fabric they sew up beautiful sticks working from a complicated work order with the color-saturated and stylized printed fabrics I find for them. John, the long-suffering husband, is the bookkeeper and makes sure everybody gets paid on time, including the tax man. Xarah is my assistant at the main studio, she’s the Gen-Z in charge of online marketing and communications. And there’s me, Diana. I spend my days handcrafting and designing Ficklesticks."
