For years I have loved tending my herb garden and working with plants.  I have long been interested in natural dyeing and have taken a variety of immersion dyeing and indigo workshops in the past.  It all came together as an unstoppable passion when I saw how fiber artist Irit Dulman prints leaves and flowers on fabric.  I immediately signed up for her course and dove into learning her technique. 

 

I continue to be amazed and surprised by the clarity of the prints and by how each leaf gives a unique and individual print.  Most of the leaves and flowers I print come from plants I've grown myself or foraged locally.  I print on natural fibers: Silk, linen, hemp, and organic cotton.  Currently, I mainly have scarves and napkins, but will be adding  bags and tunics.
