With a background in retail management and visual merchandizing, Emma began sharing her artwork on social media in 2017 under the moniker “Skippy Cotton”—a name she discovered on a typed piece of vintage ephemera. Quirky, lighthearted, and not-too-serious—it was perfect for her work. And so, like Ziggy Stardust was to David Bowie, Skippy Cotton soon was to Emma Mierop.  As Skippy Cotton has expanded and become an outlet for her growing collection of work, her whimsical creations have developed a devoted following, and she’s skillfully leveraged social media and production partnerships to scale her artistic practice in order to work with clients local and global.

Her signature lavender-scented ornaments are a lovely gift for any time of year. Perfect for gift toppers, closet or drawer sachets, holiday ornaments, or year-round décor. Each scented ornament is hand illustrated and embroidered using vibrant polyester threads on assorted linens. Each ornament is hand cut, turned, and stuffed with organic cotton and lavender. Natural twill tape is placed on top for hanging. Due to fragility or removable parts, this item is not a toy suitable for an infant or toddler.
