Meet the Maker
Hello, my name is Heidi and welcome to my shop.
Everything here is handmade and I often reclaim unused items, and/or create with bits of nature, such as leaves, twigs, or bark.
For nearly 10 years, I've dyed and printed with local plants and have enjoyed the mystery of how these plants, from my backyard, color fabric and paper in such an unpredictable and seemingly magical way.
In addition to printing from nature on fabric and paper, I use gourds from the garden, old Christmas bulbs, and a multitude of used items as part of a unique ornament or object. Mixed media creations, these turn out to be, often with paper clay or paper mache added to complete them. Oh, and I love to crochet, especially granny squares.
Thanks for stopping in and I hope you see something that makes you smile!
How it’s Made
This gourd grew in a Wisconsin garden from a seed.
I then dried (drying time varies, but generally takes at least 6 months) and cleaned the gourd.
Next, I added paper clay, to form his simple features and hat. I painted and a sealed him.
