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 […]
Ok I admit it. I have a bit of a thing for hand dyed yarn. It’s a hobby I picked up about a year ago and have explored quite extensively with acid dyes. I started dyeing yarn because I wanted great coloured yarn for all the knits I make for my son. He wears a […]
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.

I had a bit of a vat breakthrough in the last few days. The more I work with Indigo the more I get to know it. It’s kind of been like meeting someone and really wanting to be friends with them. But first you have to get to know them, and by getting to know […]
I’m feeling a bit nervous! I am super excited to have been accepted to Craft Hatch, a market run by Craft (Victoria). It’s happening on the 1st of June at 1000 £ Bend, which is in the city at 361 Little Lonsdale St. I’ve been working on some new stuff for the market, which I will […]
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!
Where do I even begin? The excitement and rush of curiosity I get when I consider natural dyes is beyond me to describe! This week has seen the arrival of 2 out of 3 natural dye books that I have ordered, and today when India Flint’s book Eco Colour arrived, my desire to immerse myself […]
