Neutral Sparkle

A fresh prototype;
Made of eco-friendly fibers
For all your fun outdoor adventures
And exercise
They feel like butter
You sweat better
Comfy for you
Good for the environment
I call it a win-win!!!

Some of you know, I have a Patreon, if you can donate it’ll help me finish stuff up sooner!

Some natural dye tests on eco friendly fabrics
Time to do some wash tests
& maybe try to set it.
& make some samples to wear…
Some fun experiments while I work on the other stuff.
Be well! ☮️

So,
as you know,
I like thinking about eco friendly textiles
Which led me to thinking about dyes as well.
I have a short dream film that I made on display at as part of the show curated by
The film was included because I made all the costumes so that’s the fiber connection. (I also wrote, directed, performed and made the soundtrack for it)
BUT back to textiles;
The opening was nice, I got to meet a bunch of artists who work in various aspects & techniques. As a maker I enjoy seeing different approaches and expressions.
It was hot so we took a break and hung out in Bonnie’s studio for a while, she hosts workshops on natural dyes (2 coming up this weekend! check her page to register & if this weekend is too soon she teaches workshops fairly regularly so follow her) she gave us a quick introduction and explained what colors come from what plants, bugs etc. So interesting!
The show is up to the 28th so check it out!
It was a nice way to reconnect with Bonnie- we met years ago when I was serving drinks at a fiber show opening & we joked about how I should be in the show not catering it 😂 So it’s great to see that after all this time she pulled together her own! Epic! Congrats! I know running shows with lots of artists can be exhausting so I’m glad she took the effort to do so, it really pulled a creative community together & she said of all the shows there, hers had the best turnout! So that’s the upside of including lots of artists. Well done Bonnie! And thanks for the crash course in natural dyes! 🎨
I want to make some prototypes and play with some of those colors & techniques! My eyes were like whaaaaatttttttt?!?! 😍🤩!
Like that spun sparkle yarn is beautiful!
I’ve always wanted to make some sweaters & now Im even more inspired!
Here’s some show highlights for those of you who can’t make it or need encouragement to go… go!
