Summary/Artist's Statement
Woven Book Tote with Tassel: Fabric is woven with vintage yarn and fabric scraps that were joined manually in order to create extra texture in the finished cloth. Lined with a digital print.
yarn&whiskey Backpack: This design was created with mark making techniques on scrap printer paper.
The design was digitally printed on heavy cotton and sewn into a backpack for my brand, yarn&whiskey. It has adjustable straps and golden brass hardware. The bag is a 3D design that lays flat when empty but expands to reveal a surprising amount of space within. It is lined with a custom logo print.
yarn&whiskey Crossbody Bag: The floral motifs on this pouch were created with ink on scrap printer paper and folding techniques. The ink on paper was scanned in and manipulated in Photoshop. The floral motifs are filled with other designs in the Reverberations collection.
The design was digitally printed on heavy cotton and sewn into a crossbody bag for my brand, yarn&whiskey. It has an adjustable strap and golden brass hardware.
