Karen Sizelove - Murphy   founder of ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE FABRIC ART

​

While formally trained with a BS in Interior Design, my heart beats with the desire and drive to be a passionate Educator focused on positive youth development while being a creative Artist.  For a decade my life's journey connected to nature, conservancy, education and awareness has carried me through wilderness, environmental and outdoor educational expeditions in the back-country and boundary waters from Minnesota to Mississippi to Colorado.

Our company was founded on the idea of using recycled materials from natural resources to reduce waste. We line our hats because it makes a nice finished product. Our linings are cashmere, extra fine merino wool and polartec fleece. Gratitude hats are just perfect for those cold winter days outside. We use the best of fur for our hats! Fur, leather and wool are biodegradable resources. Synthetics are generally made from petroleum (a non-renewable resource), which is NOT consistent with the sustainable use of our environment. By using recycled materials we help to reduce waste. We are more aware of what the consequences are today than we were many years ago, so let's think eco-friendly. Designed as functional, funky and fun headwear made from recycled and remnant fibers to express your desire to be unique will elevate your consciousness well covering your cranium.

​

Hats are for men, women and children.  Custom orders welcome. I can turn your favorite fur coat or wool sweater into a special hat. We provide quality, service and guarantee a win-win where everyone is happier.  10% of profit goes to support The Million Dollar Mustard Seed Scholarship Fund Foundation. CREATE A Large Amount of Change in a Short amount of time.  This charity supports scholarships for Youth Leadership Camp for ages 13 - 18 with Klemmer & Associates, A Premier Leadership & Character Development Company,

My DREAM is to continue working with youth and young at heart who enjoy nature and are creative when my book is published.
