Outside Over There

Our newest hemp rug collection draws inspiration from the strangeness and familiarity of family, and from Maurice Sendak’s dark and beautiful 

horror folktale for children Outside Over There.

The Changeling

The strangeness and familiarity of family. 

Changelings are the imposters left behind by fairies in folktales who steal human babies to raise as their own. 

Outside Over There

Also the title of Maurice Sendak’s dark and beautiful horror folktale for children. 

About a girl whose infant sister is stolen away by goblins who leave behind an identical baby, made of ice. 

The Ocean Moon

“But Ida played a frenzied jig, a hornpipe that makes sailors wild beneath the ocean moon.” 

excerpted from Outside Over there by Maurice Sendak

In the Arbor

Where a young mother waits mournfully for her husband to come home from sea, while her daughters travel - one voluntarily, one stolen away - to the Outside Over There

-from Maurice Sendak’s dark and beautiful horror folktale for young children.
