I love colors and whatever possible colors can go into a creation. I sell supplies on Etsy and started out with yarns, then moved into silk sari ribbon, silk cocoons, silk sari ribbon yarns, cording and rope. I will recycle saris and rip them into a ribbon and then create by knitting or crocheting it into something wonderful. If I can't find a color I need I will dye it using environmentally safe dyes.
I found a fair trade supplier in India who is now working on ribbons and silk thrum yarns for me. I decided that it would be nice to share this love and supply that I have on Etsy and it has really taken off, leading me to meet other wonderful artists. Sitting at the table, I think back, never in my dreams imagining that I could share this with others and have it grow into a live business as it has.
I make purses, accessories and clothing that are out of the ordinary. When you work with fibers and silk sari ribbon you step outside of the box!
Artist statement: I hope to provide a creative vision, guidance, knowledge, motivation and inspiration to all ages. While heightening passion for fiber art I hope to push the boundaries of silk sari ribbon use and fibers in all applications. I aim to provide joy to those who embrace color and love wearable art. I love recycling, bringing the old into a new creation. Through all of this, I hope to understand what the other person sees and feels through my work.

“Drive a nail home and clinch it so faithfully that you can wake up in the night and think of your work with satisfaction,- a work at which you would not be ashamed to invoke the Muse”
-Henry David Thoreau
In our case, it would be the needle or other fiber tool. Drive it home! And, we all thank you for your words, left here to these good folks. Invoke your Muse!
