A. Parlin Project is a mixed media fiber arts brand using creativity as therapy. Inspired by my daughter’s bright view of the world, I create handmade bracelets, plushies, and DIY kits designed to bring comfort, connection, and purpose. Each piece is made with care to help you feel seen and supported while raising awareness for mental health and neurodiversity.

🧶 From Fruit Loops to Fringe
With over 15 years of working with fibers and knots, what started as playful days of Fruit Loops and pipe cleaners has grown into a life of mindful making. I wanted to create a safe, comforting environment for my little one while encouraging focus through creative play, and that’s how our sensory-friendly, durable pieces came to life. Each design is inspired by our everyday moments, bringing calm, color, and connection to those who hold them.

🌟 Mission: To design handmade accessories that encourage well-being and help people feel seen and empowered.
🌟 Vision: A world where creative therapy is valued and art sparks inclusion and support for mental health communities.

Creativity is therapy - don't be afraid to be you.
