Buying.

Items indicated "Sold" can be ordered. Can even be ordered in different colors. Because of the "handmade" nature of this kind of work, no two items will be "exactly identical". They will be like loaves of homemade bread made from the same dough.

About Me

My photo
From the beginning I loved textiles. As a child my mother dressed me in beautiful garments and as a young person Kismet was my favorite movie. The heroine danced in the bazaar flinging beautiful fabric.

How to Purchase

Because dye is difficult to control all orders are unique. If not already sold you may purchase the original. If already sold you can still purchase the "same" piece. Your order will be a new piece approximating the original as closely as possible (or with any differences you may request . . . perhaps you would prefer different colors). Clothing is available in S/M/L. Custom sizes are available. Money orders are preferred. Checks are acceptable and items will be shipped once they have cleared. Shipping and handling will be charged to the customer.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Back to Blue Printing

Been doing a bit of blue printing the past few days as I had a request for crane pillowcases. It was a bit of a surprising challenge. I expected it to be easy. Tried batik first which is pretty easy, but then could not get the wax out. I know I need to take batik pieces to the dry cleaners to get the wax out but the only dry cleaner in ABQ who'll take them is far, far away and I'm going to wait until I collect a substantial pile. So I went to blueprinting. A fascinating process and highly unpredictable. In the process of trying to print the pillowcases I had many failures and made a lot of pieces. My friend is happy with his pieces (phew) so despite a simple project taking well over a week it was worth it. It's under 60 degrees most days here now that winter is at the doorstep so I'm not using any procion which requires at least 70 degrees.
