New posts @isleofcats.dogs ❤️It’s always so fun to visit the SPCA to walk the dogs and cuddle the cats. It’s one of our fav dates to go on, I recommend it.

I’m certain having someone over your shoulder with a camera slows you down...

New🍰my hand woven cloth & linen clothing line is coming together! I used cotton, silk & fine wool for the weavings, they drape nicely with a subtle texture that’s makes each piece quite interesting (to me-a big textile nerd at least). These will make their debut at my two sales coming up- you know stocking stuffers 😅 find me and a batch of plant dyed silks @shinyfuzzymuddy @makers_assembly_marketplace dm if interested

Plant dyed silk blouses coming very soon! These silk pieces are so versatile, silk is somehow insulating in winter but keeps you cool in summer, you can machine wash these pieces and if you drop a bit of curry sauce on them NO PROBLEM! Have a nice weekend y’all!

Plant dyed silk dresses. For these ones I used mainly logwood, but two different recipes- then eco printed one with sumac the other smoke bush. So many shades of blue.

Here’s another new one- linen with my hand woven cloth. For this one I used mostly silk/alpaca thread with a little cotton and tencel. It’s soft and cozy and drapes. 🧶. Have a great Sunday everyone. I’ll be over here agonizing over what the hell to charge for these.

I’m pretty excited about a new small batch of work! Linen tops with panels of my woven cloth. I used cotton, silk, alpaca, tencel and linen threads-each top is a little different and kinda special.

Ive been back at plant dying past couple weeks, a lot of experimenting and trial and error. It’s so satisfying and definitely a labor of love! I posted part of the process in my stories with my experiment with Acorns. I have some completed yardage (a very small piece actually) the next steps after it cures will be to eco print then sew into a dress or a couple tops. Here on this branch are completed pieces of 1. Walnut 2.osage/madder/cutch 3.logwood & iron plus all have been eco printed. I will have a big selection of tops,dresses and scarves for @shinyfuzzymuddy #slowclothes

I think I have an obsessive compulsive love hate relationship developing here.

I’ve switched gears in the studio to plant dyeing and weaving for two shows happening next month 💥🤸🏽‍♀️This switch always takes away from the linen clothing line. I struggle with this and always pay some kind of price. I feel I’m constantly trying to carve out time for weaving and plant dyeing even though I LOVE this work. Finding balance can be a tricky one.
