Ganesh Repeat Pattern




Woven Shibori Shawls


I wove in supplementary weft and tied it off the loom, then immersion dyed the fabric, and removed the supplementary wefts. This is an ancient technique from Japan that creates beautiful results.

Wrap Skirt Fabric






These 5 textiles were created by resist dyeing, painting with dye, and screen printing.

Tablesetting


This is a table-setting I created. The cushions, napkins and quilt are hand dyed organic cotton with cutch, curry, and logwood with some hand woven shibori fabric as well. The place mats are hand woven bamboo and wool.



Park Set


This is a park set that I created. Includes a cornhole set that I painted, a quilt, pillows, and a rug for your shoes. I love the colors and the process, and have really enjoyed using all of these products. P.s... THIS IS MY FIRST QUILT! :)

Organic Tablerunner


100% organic from beginning to end. First dyebath was curry, second was cochineal, and third was logwood dip. I think its a very successful triple dip. I really like the pastel green lines.

Machine Knitted, Hand Dyed



I made this scarf a couple of quarters ago, had a great photographer snap some shots. I used a knitting machine with organic cotton yarn. It is super soft and breathable. I dyed with curry and blackberries...that is it! All those colors just from simply blackberries and curry. I wish I could dye all day everyday!
