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.
Love that color. That sure looks like a Moda Marbles fabric you've used in the inner border...is it? If my DH hadn't put the kibosh on my cat collection, this would have been added in a second!

Yup, it's a Moda Marbles fabric.
That is too pretty to be a potholder. Maybe wall art for your kitchen?
Yes I love the colors of that pot holder too. Your blog is so beautiful, and inspiring.
