Sleepy Owl Fiber Arts
Meet the Maker
I have always enjoyed color and creating art. I started with drawing and painting, cake decorating and flower arranging. After working in these mediums, I discovered fiber and weaving, about 30 years ago. My first and favorite loom is an antique barn loom that I acquired from friends. It is a handmade loom that weaves wonderful fabric. This loom dates back to the late 1800s. One loom is never enough! Now, I also have three 4 harness looms, a Lillstina, Gallinger and a Sabina floor loom. Then I added two small rigid heddle looms which I use to sample and weave scarves. Just recently, my husband made a triangle loom. I love the scarves that can be made on this loom.
I truly love the fact that my rugs and totes are made from linens and clothing that are headed to the landfill. These fabrics are washed then cut into strips and either sewn or interlocked to create the weft for my rugs. This process makes each rug unique.
My scarves are woven with quality fibers and fabric. My favorite style of scarf weaving is the Saori, which is a freeform weaving. These a wonderful way to achieve beautiful color combinations.
Since my work is not mass-produced, I attract people who understand and appreciate the value of handcrafted fabric.
How it’s Made
I use a variety of leftover handwoven fabric and fibers from my weavings. The stick pin and fiber beads are handmade by me. The pin measures 2.5" wide by 4.5" which includes the cascading beads and fibers. The back measures 2.5" x 3 and it attaches to the garment with a beaded stick pin.
You can expect some tattering on the edges which is part of my design.
These are one of a kind!!!
