Over the last few months I've been busy developing new products and working on new textile artwork for my up-coming solo show, but more about that in my next post!
One of the new lines I've developed is a range of eco-dyed, hand stitched silk and organza fascinators. We are coming into the wedding/formal season here in Australia and these pieces work perfectly with a romantic, boho, woodland theme. With both a clip and pin fastening, they can be worn as a headpiece or as a brooch. These pieces are available in the
Etsy store but feel free to contact me directly if you'd like something similar made for you in your choice of fabric or colours.

Here are some pics of the process…

| This dye bath of loquat leaves made a grey dye. |
 |
| Bundles and tied lengths. |

| Grey and turmeric yellow results. |

| Rubber bands created an interesting resist on these fabrics which were then manipulated into floral shapes and sewn together. |
