all of the pieces in the Cowgirl Collection are intended to infuse a cheeky sense of FUN into your space. for this piece in particular, the artist went with a green and brown color scheme that brings a pop of color, while still blending effortlessly into a neutral space. the phrase "All Hat No Cattle" is one of her favorite cliches, meaning someone has the appearance of a cowboy but doesn't have the cows to back it up, or is "all talk" and no action. mallory experimented with a new process for making the cowboy hat stamp, carving it herself out of a linoleum block for print-making. she is a firm believer that there is plenty of room for fun in the art world, and this is a way to bring some of that fun into your home.

this piece is inspired by all mallory's drives back and forth between nashville and birmingham/tuscaloosa over the years. the background has "I-65" stamped in a creamy grey, with low contrast against the ivory background. and the black boxes have the text "Headed Home" stamped in a slightly lighter grey. so much happens on drives home and the commutes- it's where you process your day, your season of life, call your friends and family, replay the day and have imaginary conversations, or listen to music, podcasts, the news (or Bobby Bones, if you're me...). some of the most creative ideas happen in the car, and this pays homage to all those little moments on the drive home.
the lingua franca classic short-sleeve cashmere crewneck with "i think i love you" patch. sky blue with poppy patch + canary thread.

a couple years ago, mallory was speaking to one of her friends about our current stage of life, and whether we felt behind or on track. he said, "i'm not where i want to be, but i feel like i'm on the way." she loved the tension of his statement - feeling content in the current phase of life, but not feeling content with stagnation, or staying where he was forever. also, she loves that it encompasses the universal "i'm on my way!" texts we all send friends before meeting up, and starting a fun evening.
