Dyeing Begins!

I am working on textiles for a fashion collaboration with jewelry designer Sakura Haru. We are aiming to have a small collection complete and shown by mid September.

Weaving

I have decided to dust off the old loom and dedicate myself again to one of my favorite things, weaving. My first project will be a fine woven scarf in a range of muted greys. I have some great hand spun and hand dyed wool from the Isle of Skye and I think this would be the perfect use for it. At the moment I work on a 4 harness, Leclerc floor loom so the weave structures are more limited but simplicity will allow the fiber to be the focus of the work.

Future Textile Design

I have several of these pictures which have inspired new textile designs as well as images for a section of my trend book. Its amazing what you discover on your morning commute!
