I've been dyeing, sewing, painting, drawing, beading and felting in Denver, Colorado for quite some time. I especially love starting with a blank piece of paper or fabric and coming up with my own designs from scratch.
I've been making art dolls for several decades and out of this evolved my cloth pins and ornaments. Each one is like a miniature version of my larger art dolls.
My pins and ornaments are first sewn of good quality white cotton fabric and then stuffed with polyfill. Then they're hand dyed, hand painted and finally beaded. A pin back is sewn securely on the back of the pins. Because of the nature of the hand dyeing, no two are ever exactly alike.
My spouse loves to spin and weave, and I dye warps for his beautiful handwoven scarves.
I've been painting my entire life and especially love to paint in a celtic or medieval style, but pure fantasy is also great fun.
The well fleshed orange kitty that my shop is named after is Donovan who has his own web site.
There is something so special about the flowers of an African Violet. I don't have a green thumb but with a tiny bit of care...like water..even I can occasionally get a bloom. Beautiful pictures and what color!

What a beautiful bunch of flowers. Wonder what they would taste like?
That's a gorgeous plant! And of course, orange cats look good with everything.
They are really lovely! One of my cats will eat anything green so no houseplants for me--cat grass is a big hit!
