Ground #Madder root extraction - this plant can be cultivated in the SEUS... Think I will start growing this year (it will take some time to be harvestable but worth it!) . #naturaldyes #madderroot #plantdyes #color

I will present on the intersection of textiles/fibers, making and sustainability @sefiberarts center Saturday 1/12/19 at 2pm I will share info, inspiration and ignition for other textile/fiber makers who, like me, want to integrate environmental awareness more fully into their creative practice. #sefiberarts #fiberart #textileart #sustainability #sustainablemaking #

So inspired this year! Dreaming of the new work ahead. I'm gonna keep on keepin' on! Hope you do too! ❤️😸

I have been busy preparing for a show of my @petalunacollection wearables with @elainadesigns - coming up next weekend! More info soon. . #petalunacollection #slowfashion #oneofakind #finejewelry #artowear #Atlantaartist
