Hello and thank you for visiting my web site. My name
is Cynthia. I have been designing wearables for about
45 years. I learned to knit and sew from my mother and
became addicted at an early age. I have always loved
flowers and got in trouble many times for picking my
neighbors(when I was young of course). I now have my
own beautiful garden to get inspiration from for the
beautiful things I create especially with you in mind.
About 2 years ago I learned to spin fiber and the
natural progression was to learn to hand dye that same
fiber to the beautiful colors we find in our world.
Mother nature is truly an amazing woman. I don't use
a pattern for my garments as I work in a technique
called Freeform or Scrumbling and that allows me to
use what ever fiber I want irrelevant to the gauge or
needle size-I find that very unleashing to the creative
process. If you have ever seen a beautiful Victorian
Crazy Quilt then you know how I design my garments-
I also make my own felt from Merino and Cormo
fiber-once the felt fabric is made then I can cut it and
do embroidery and other surface design work using
beads(both commercial and lampworked by me)and
other unusual findings.
I have been hand painting on beautiful Charmeuse
Silk for about 25 years now. My silk ties-mostly with
beer and wine motifs are worn by men all over the
world. The famous beer guru from England(now
deceased-we miss him greatly)Mr. Michael
Jackson-wore my ties always.
Sadly I cannot accept custom orders as I find that puts
to much of a constraint on the flow of creativity-I feel
sure you will find you hearts desire in the varied
selections I have for you.
Remember:
You are always beautiful in a handmade piece of
Wearable Art.
