Been a bit quiet on the blog front of late! Sorry about that! I will get to blogging some dye experiments soon, but for now I’ll just talk about what I’ve got coming up. This weekend I will be at Bend and Snap Market at 1000 £ Bend on Sunday. I’ve got some new goodies in the shape of […]
I’ve got something fun coming up this Friday! I’m going to be participating in the Northern Exposure Visual Arts Festival! I’ll have some Shibori on the street for the 2 weeks of the festival, some Indigo works on canvas as part of the “Small Works Small Spaces” exhibit. My work is entitled “Phases”, and is […]
I am going to be setting up shop this weekend at the brand spanking new Northern Regards Artisan Market which is going to be super cool.

It looks like it’s meant to be a painting, doesn’t it? But, it is art to wear in the form of an infinity scarf. Coming soon to the shop :) On etsy here!
This weekend I decided to set up a new chem vat and test my skills at bringing a hydros vat back to life after it had been left to oxygenate and turn cold. It was actually quite successful! I tested on 3 different fabrics and got quite similar colours across all 3 which was interesting, […]
Dyeing with Indigo is a new direction for me, I’m not quite sure why I haven’t gotten to it earlier! In the past few days I have just begun to dye with it. I’ve started out with a hydros vat, but I think I will be moving to a zinc lime vat, so I can […]
