New plant dyed silk dress. I’m so pleased with the results of this one and I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to get these colours again! Shades of blues,greys& mauve- camera isn’t picking it all up! This one was dyed over a couple months, first with logwood & iron, eco printed with smoke bush then did another over dye with acorns. The ph of my water (a creek) changes throughout the year - as does the plant matter-so results are often surprising. Add I’m not great with keeping notes... 🤸🏽‍♂️This is listed in the online shop with more images and measurements. Happy Friday everyone.

#3 of the handwoven series. This piece I used cotton and alpaca silk, paired with a nice structured cotton/linen fabric. These dresses are now available in the online shop and are a very small run, they gave me much joy in creating them 🌈🤸🏽‍♂️💫••••what’s really on my mind—-I hope everyone who’s feeling the alarming news today is able to do some self care, whatever that looks like to you. Maybe you only have time to deep breathe in a closet for two minutes! I’m very happy It looks like Biden will win but wow those numbers for that other guy were shocking and disheartening. take care everyone🖤

Another new dress with my hand woven cloth. This one is made with the softest organic/cotton denim and I wove the cloth for the middle middle panel with cotton threads. This is one of three different designs using my weavings, a very limited run of each. I’ll have them available in the online shop Wednesday the latest. Making these has been so satisfying. I thoroughly enjoyed weaving the cloth and turning it into wearable pieces 🖤

Organic cotton/hemp denim Calla top. This denim is soft, I’m very happy with it! And Totally unrelated- I finally started watching the Handmaids tale, I felt like I was ready to watch it. Then realized it’s because I’ve been taking a break from the news for the first time in a zillion months... we’ll see how I’ll fare when I let current events creep back in, any day now. Hope you’re all having a nice week ✌🏼
