SUSTAINABLE - RENEWABLE - ECO-FRIENDLY

About The Silk Thread

 

Ecoprinting

Ecoprinting involves gathering leaves, flowers, and other plants from nature and using a natural steaming process to imprint them onto fabric. This technique creates unique colors, designs, and textures. The colors are derived from the tannins in the plants and can vary based on the specific plant, time of day, moon cycles, weather conditions, and seasons. I'm proud to be one of the few artisans in the United States who ecoprints on leather.

 

Hand Dyed

I use natural and organic dyes sourced from plants and trees, as well as low-impact synthetic dyes. These dyes can be used individually or combined with ecoprinted pieces for a richer effect.

Hand Painted

All of my hand-painted designs are created without computers or templates; each piece is uniquely drawn by me. These designs can be integrated with hand-dyed and/or ecoprinted clothing and accessories.

Hand Sewn

Every item is meticulously crafted by hand, making each piece one-of-a-kind, from garments to leather handbags and accessories. Until I find some energetic elves to assist me, my inventory will vary!
