Earnest Threads

Ever since childhood I’ve loved to work and create with my hands.  I’ve always been fascinated by nature, and my favorite color is all of them!  I use textiles to showcase the beauty of nature by combining natural dyes with prints from locally foraged leaves and plants.  Just as each leaf on a tree is unique, so is every print and I enjoy exploring the full potential of each plant I choose to use.  As a life-long sewer, I find fabric to be an intimate medium that invites us to develop a personal relationship with the items we wear and use.
