Message me with any questions about any items :)

Transitioning my website to fall always takes long

Transitioning my website to fall always takes longer than I think-so many decisions to commit too, photo shoots, editing, updating online shop ...
and it feels like the seasons switched very quickly this year,
so the hustle is on.

Lots of cozy pieces coming up very soon!

Here’s a new wool sweater design, like a sweatshirt with a loose elastic in the waist and sleeves (they have long sleeves) it’s cozy and not itchy.
Colours in the wool are navy (shown) and a caramel colour.
I’m also offering it in nice soft wool plaid.
These will be available very soon!

I can’t wait to get back to weaving.
I stayed up late last night unraveling and winding some silk threads I plant dyed a couple months ago. Preparing for the next project.
So much about this work is process.
A slow meditative process.

My lovely niece modelled this dress for me- this is the only one- the front top panel I hand wove using cotton, linen and tencel threads, the rest of the dress is crinkle linen (I did not weave this!) & has pockets.

Anatomy of a sleeve.
Wind warp- hemp & linen.
Tie a hundred or two tight little ties throughout warp, get two friends to help-for resist dyeing.
Dip warp in indigo 4-5 times, make another vat dip 3-4 more times. Let cure for a while. Wash.
Dress loom, patiently, lots of tangles, thread, sleigh reed-re sleigh-because I always miss one in the middle.
Weave (with total delight) weft is silk/wool alpaca and random single ochre stripes of linen.

The indigo ikat warp from my last post wove like a dream!! I used silk/alpaca for the weft with single stripes of ochre linen. It feels beautiful and was such a delight to work on.

It’s been four months since I’ve woven anythin

It’s been four months since I’ve woven anything! I’m getting back into it with this special warp I’ve been excited about. Linen and hemp ikat indigo dyed. I think I dipped this about 8-10 times. @mimaeden helped with all the tiny little ikat ties, @wadeswagar helped a bit too.
I’m so happy to be back on the loom!

Hiked up to a glacier, some lakes and waterfalls yesterday.
The formations and colours in the rocks, the mineral rich water, peaks for miles and miles, I was in total awe.

There’s so much beauty here.

I’m going to load up my stories with more photos as I took so many photos😅

Just finished this custom dress, I only woven a small piece with this pattern that I love and had planned to do more.
It’s a third dress for a mother and her two daughters, this delights me to no end.
I love this dress, I haven’t touched my loom since April and I can’t wait to get back to it.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Studio appreciation post! With the exception of 3-4 days I’ve spent every day in my studio since May!! It’s been a doozy of a summer, there wasn’t much to do in the intense conditions we had so I was grateful for the constant stream of work. Thank you dear retailers and customers💚
I’m going to spend more time in the mountains for the next couple weeks even if means trying to outsmart that nasty unwelcome smokey air.

I had the pleasure of making this lovely songbird a new dress. I’ll post a little video of @prairielizard on my stories. She plays beautifully and often performs locally.

I’m so grateful for Art these days.
