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
The colors and prints on this scarf are made from the transfer of pigments from actual leaves and nature bits onto a blank piece of fabric.
First, I lay the leaves and blossoms onto a white silk scarf.
Then I roll the leaf covered scarf tightly around a wooden dowel.
Next, the dowel is steamed in a turkey roaster for a bit.
Lastly, I remove the bundle from the steamer, the dowel is unrolled, the leaves and bits of nature are peeled away from the fabric and voila! ... a unique, one of a kind scarf has been created!
