yokoo.

You may have seen this lovely video on etsy ... but we had to share one of their handmade portraits - about yokoo, an artist that has made over a thousand scarves and hats. We loved the sweet simplicity of the video -- and the sweet simplicity of yokoo herself. Under the video are a few of our favorite quotes.

It's important for people to create their own world. You have this world you live in, but I think we should be creating a subworld to protect us.

When the idea hits you that you are in control of your life, it's almost like opening a window in a stuffy room.

I grew up poor, but only because everyone else had money.

I think what's hard is going against a current, trying to be something else.

We all need to allow the silence.

I enjoy immensely being great.
