November 2021 Newsletter
Small Business Saturday, Holiday Shopping, and a Collaboration with
Upcycled Skate Art
Ahoy lads and lasses,

Thank you to all that made it out to Davenport to check out Santa Cruz Open Studios! It was great to connect and reconnect with the Santa Cruz art community and get to show you all some of the work I've been doing out here. 

I'd like to welcome the newcomers from Open Studios. Thank you for the support. I'm excited to have you on board!

Found Art Collective Holiday Pop-Up
I will be a featured artist at the Found Art Collective on Saturday, November 27th from 12-5pm in Scotts Valley. This is a great opportunity to get some in-person shopping done and save on shipping costs this holiday season. 

Found Art Collective
5167 Scotts Valley Dr,
Scotts Valley, CA 95066

With all the supply chain issues big box stores are having this year, there's no better time to shop local!

Small Business Saturday
Small Business Saturday is coming up!

Saturday, November 27, the day after Black Friday, is Small Business Saturday. Get some holiday shopping out of the way early and get a 20% discount on unique handmade pieces all while supporting your favorite small businesses!

Whatknot Studios Discount Code: SBS2021

Offer code available: Saturday, November 27 - Monday November 29, 2021
*Mention this Newsletter to redeem your 20% off on my work at the Found Art Collective

Holiday Orders
The holidays are right around the corner!

This is your reminder to start your shopping as soon as possible so I can get them to you in time. If you're interested in a custom order, I will be taking very few this year due to the high volume of requests. Each piece is handmade with care and can take some time so lets get planning now!
Inquire about your own custom order

Collaboration With Upcycled Skate Art

In other exciting news I have a collaboration in the works with Alex Wong of Upcycled Skate Art. Alex is a fellow artist from Santa Cruz who uses thrashed skateboard decks and trucks to create a wide variety of unique pieces; anything from jewelry to surfboards and tables. 

In our collaboration, we are using old skateboard truck parts to cast an aluminum skull and integrating truck hangers as a metaphorical spinal column.

Keep posted for a possible show in the future featuring this piece and other related pieces by Alex and I.


See you next month for another in-person shopping opportunity coming up on Saturday, December 18 at Shanty Shack Brewing!



Cheers, 

Courtney Renee Scruggs

Custom Order Waitlist
I am so grateful that I have been able to keep so busy this year! Because of this, I have had to start a waitlist for future custom orders.

If you're interested in jumping the line, you can snag 1 of 2 spots left on my Patreon team at the Commissions tier. This allows you to put money towards a  piece of your choice on my website or a custom commission every month which we design and create together. Not interested in a commission but want to still support me on Patreon? Great! I have 5 tiers that allow you to choose how you'd like to show your support from $2 to $25 a month. Each one gains you access to different levels of my process that are exclusive to my Patreon team. 
Inquire about your own custom order

See you in Davenport...

I can't wait to see you at Open Studios. It's been a fantastic summer and Open Studios feels like the grand finale to a beautiful festival season this year. Thank you all for joining me on this wild ride.

And as a friendly reminder, the holidays will be here before you know it so start thinking about what you're getting that special someone ahead of time! 
 

Cheers, 

Courtney Renee Scruggs

I have been diligently working away in my studio and I just updated my shop with a new piece! I created these roses as a study of a larger piece but I've already received 2 custom orders for them so I thought I'd put them on the website. I am happy to create a custom color rose for you upon request.

Ahoy lads and lasses!

As the 450 Artists show at Radius Gallery comes to a close, I am working on what's next and taking inventory. Although I sold her late last year, "Scylla" is still one of my favorite pieces I've made thus far and also a limited edition artwork. If you're interested in this piece, I am happy to work with you on payment plans or even a custom patina.

Clearing Inventory Sale

I am cleaning house! There are several jewelry pieces in my inventory that didn't make the cut and need to make their way to a new home. These are all one-of-a-kind pieces so once they're gone, there will never be another like it. Check them out on the Whatknot Studios Store.

Commissions 
These two custom pieces are collaborations between clients and myself.

The one on the left is a sterling silver bracelet with red epoxy lettering that spells out NICRGFINF which stands for "Nights I Can't Remember, Good Friends I'll Never Forget".

On the right is a piece that is similar to a set I recently made except the interior wires are 14k gold and I added some pearls to it. I love the finished product and am so happy to work with gold again.

If you're interested in something similar or a variation of one of my pieces, please contact me.

Until next time

With the state of the world as it is, I am excited for the prospect of getting a vaccine soon and get to start doing more in person shows and events.
