I am a Fiber Artist, I create handmade one of a kind art. I use wool and silk to create unique items from wearable art to home decor using the process of felting and or nuno felting which incorporates silk or any other open weave fiber.

I sell scarves, clothing, journals, paintings, pillows, stools, ottomans, vessels and baby clothing

Nuno felting is the most intersting and facinating form of art. You take a fine merino wool and a piece of silk or any open weave fabric and fuse it together with warm soapy water and slowly agitating it by hand until you see the fibers of the wool coming through your open weave fabric. That is the felting process, Now you shock the fibers by tossing and rolling it which is called the fulling process. What happens when this is done the silk fiber takes on a rushing effect which is quite lovely.

I have always been an artist, I have painted for many years and attended a formal art school many years ago. I have been knitting since i was a child which lead me to this form of art which is quite addicting!! I also teach classes in nuno felting.
