Welcome to Snowy Textiles

Individually hand dyed and/or ecoprinted with local foliage textiles including silk, wool, cotton and linen  scarves and wraps, socks, men's ties, ladies tops, cushion covers, cards, gift tags, and homeware.  All my hand dyed and/ecoprinted pieces are created in our Snowy Region, Jindabyne.

I am passionate about colour and just love creating beautiful fabrics using silk, wool, linen and cotton.

Since moving to the Australian Snowy region, I have been seduced by the magic of dyeing with local flora and a very different earthy subdued palette.

Working with plants provides for a very tactile and meditative working environment.  I love the serendipity associated with using the same plant materials in different seasons and  weather conditions on differently textured wool, silk, bamboo, cotton.

This passion has now spilled over and channelled itself into my fashion accessories, apparel, home decor and my art.  Visit my art gallery and see my Nature's Symphony series.

Each piece is created individually by carefully and thoughtfully arranging the foliage on the piece then dyeing/processing it.  The results are not totally predictable as changing environment conditions, changes in quality of water and soil conditions can have an impact on the colour and print achieved.  The same plant in a different environment may print very differently.

My practice involves working in an eco sustainable manner.  I collect and process leaves, bark, vegetable skins, flowers on fabric and paper to create actual prints, designs, colours resulting in the textured look of the plant on the fibre.

When you receive your piece look closely at it.  You will see not just a variety of foliage but the positive and negative portraits of the actual foliage as well.  See if you can identify the plants used  and find the positive and negative images of it.

View the galleries below to see samples of my wearable hand dyed or eco printed work - scarves, wraps and tops.
