Tom’sTotes Artist highlight- Paige Parker. “I once read an interesting story about an elephant trainer. This trainer had a particularly strange tactic when working with the baby elephants and would chain the baby elephant’s leg to a chair. As a baby, this would hold the elephant in place. Here is the part that is particularly bizarre: as the elephant grew, it would remain next to the chair whenever the trainer chained it. Think of that. This giant, magnificent creature unable to move because it is bound to a plastic chair. Before you consider how ridiculous this animal is, consider that maybe you too are chained to a plastic chair. What things should you be able to move in your life now that you’ve grown? The things that tied you down years ago don’t need to bind you anymore.” Get Paige’s designs in our next drop this sunday #lettinggo #movingon #griefjourney #griefandloss #artistsoftiktok #artistsontiktok
