One Person Factory

Hi there,

I’m Iris, the one-person factory behind everything you get from blob.says.hello.

I started making jewelry for myself and friends after graduate school as a way to heal, nurture my being, and as a practice of meditation. In some frozen moments in time, the first several blobs were made and widely loved. From there, everything started to roll.

I found that thinking wasn’t always helpful. Instead, I started making and creating, leaving thinking and synthesizing for later. Two weeks later, I registered with a company that could help me maintain my visa status and picked the name blob.says.hello. There were other options like blobby blobs, blooooob, blobblobblob, etc. I found myself spending an unnecessary amount of energy on deciding the name, which created stress and anxiety. So, the day after, I sat down and decided that today was the day to pick a name. I’d been posting blobs for a while, and I always added ‘hello’ to the posts, so blob.says.hello just made sense.

It took me a while to start writing this blob, but once you start, you just keep going! Thanks for being part of this journey with me. Iris. 01.03.2025
