I’ve had a lot of inquiries regarding my silk pillowcases! All are hand dyed with flowers; most flowers I grow in my garden!

Silk pillowcases are great to sleep on! Here are just a few benefits for your hair; They help reduce breakage and split ends, helps to reduce frizz and tangles, and helps to retain moisture.

Some benefits for your skin are; helps to maintain skin hydration, they are gentle on sensitive skin, and helps to minimize sleep creases and wrinkles!

My favorite thing is how incredibly soft and smooth they are, as well as breathable.😁

I currently have 5 sets left! DM me if you’d like to purchase any of them! There is still time get them before Christmas! 🎄⛄️

Hi everyone!

I don’t usually mix my personal with my business account, however; my brother Stephen was recently diagnosed with a very aggressive form of cancer. AML Leukemia. this cause is important and whether you can donate or simply share the fundraiser, every little bit helps and is greatly appreciated!

Thank you so very much and Happy Holidays!🙌🎄⛄️🙏

Thank you so very much and Happy Holidays!🙌🎄⛄️🙏

The holiday season IS upon us! 🎄⛄️
My favorite time of year!

I thought I’d share a bit of the process that’s involved in creating these gorgeous silk scarves. Sometimes they come out of the dye pot and I decide to add more colorful flowers here and there and they go back in for another dip, and sometimes not. 🤔 It’s one of the many parts of the process that I adore!🥰

This little gem is out for delivery! 📦 🙌 Now that my markets have come to a close for the season I’ll be restocking my shop on my website at the beginning of the year! Stay tuned and thanks to all of your love and support!

If you can dream it you can make it! Just another creation from “MY” chocolate factory.

I had the unique opportunity to create this gorgeous guitar for a VERY talented local musician which happens to be my soul mate. Zhpmarcum you should check him out or wait to see him on the Grammys! 🙃 Either way it’s a beautiful relationship. He’s been busy woodshedding laying down some new tracks! Can’t wait to share those with y’all! The guitar sounds even prettier after the work I did. After finishing Marty I’ve had other requests to create other beautiful guitars with my flowers! Coming your way!

Today we took advantage of a gorgeous fall day and went horseback riding. What a great opportunity to sport one of my botanically hand dyed and eco printed silk scarves, which kept me warm AND it was so stylish. I got so many compliments and inquiries!

It was a very fun day today in Colorado! I’m so grateful! I was recently asked why don’t I “model” my scarves more often? It’s hard to capture selfies; however I will do so more often. Thank you!

(Meet Clint, my horse for the day! He was so incredibly sweet!) ❤️ 🐎

I took a day off from my studio for a roadtrip into the mountains to close up our camper at our land for the season. 🏕️

There’s nothing better than an afternoon of Hippy Radio, colorful fall 🍁 🍂, and fresh mountain air with my soulmate to reset! 🙌

Aspen…. Ahhhh🤠 Our happy place!

Our yearly fall getaway never gets old. The fall colors, the mountains, the slow vibe, a chance to take in all of the beautiful fall scenery while relaxing with my soulmate and experiencing new adventures together. Like fly fishing! Catch and release; this was my first fish EVER that I’ve caught, a gorgeous rainbow trout! 😊

Once we return, Monday will be the beginning of a few very busy weeks, while getting ready for a few more big fall markets! The 🎃 Fest is fast approaching, the tree lighting in Cherry Creek, and a couple of local holiday markets! Stay tuned!

It’s a photo shoot kinda day, buried in my studio with many pretty textiles and a couple of schnauzers! 🥰 This one was inspired by the full moon.

Did you know: The full moon is a time of peak illumination, symbolizing completeness and clarity. It is a potent period when the moon aligns directly opposite the sun, creating a sense of harmony and balance in the universe. As the moon reaches its fullest potential, its energy intensifies, and so does ours. I love full moons and the influence it has on our tides. 🌕

When getting your creative business lifted, the fun part is creating everything; however there are so many other moving parts. One of which is photo shoots with my mannequin. I really should give her a name since she does work so hard! Today she has selected this 36x36 silk scarf that is peppered with a variety of flowers from my garden. Fall is fast upon us, but these summer flowers and all the colors they have to offer is still upon us! YAY! 🌺 ☀️ 🌹

You’ll see my inspiration for this little silkie on the last clip. All hand dyed with flowers, and trees. On my first dip in Logwood, the scarf spoke to me as wanting to be a midnight sky and she evolved from there. The beautiful glass meteor that I had the privilege of seeing in person in my hometown, became part of my silk scarf inspiration. ☄️ Do you see it? I love how this one turned out!Available at my next art market in Boulder! 😁 stay tuned for details of the upcoming market!

I think bandanas and scarves should be sold at the merch tents at all concerts! Yes?!

This scarf is so versatile! Every closet needs one! It’s hard to capture it on myself, but what a great head scarf this makes! It was so incredibly hot the day of this market and this helped to keep me a bit cooler than the 100 degree day we were having! 🥵 #prettyinpink #silk #silkscarves #bandana #ecoprint #flowers #naturaldye #bundledye #textile #textileart #botanical #botanicaldye #festival #artmarket

I was once asked how nature inspires my art work… It inspires me in many ways; from the colors, to the different textures, and shapes, and simply the calm & peacefulness that I feel when in the mountains. It recharges my soul and replenishes my creativity. 🏔️🌹🌻🍃🍄🍁

100% Silk with a hand rolled hem, every closet can use one. Unique one of a kind. Where it in your hair, accessorize your purse or where it many different ways to dress up your outfit.

Whenever I unwrap a new piece from the dye pot, I think 🤩 I have to keep this one for myself! The pretty blues and greens are my favorite color! This will be available at the Lavender festival this weekend which I’m so excited to be a part of! I hope to see y’all there! Details to follow!

Finally home from our Alaskan trip then we took off to Telluride to the bluegrass festival. Pics coming soon… Home sweet home. I’m just going through some Alaskan photos. What a beautiful & majestic place… ❤️

A few photos from our many excursions and experiences… an up close and personal experience seeing an iceberg calving, hiking to a remote lake, visiting an old cannery, kayaking the fjords, kayaking some tide pools, watching so many beautiful sunsets and sunrises.… I met so many great people along our journey.. feeling grateful! it’s always good to be home and get back to my creative processes. Until next time Alaska. ❤️

Sometimes words are not necessary… the beauty of Mother Nature speaks for herself. Glacier ice is very dense and so incredibly clear. If you put it in a cocktail it will crack almost immediately our guide once tried it. lol ❤️

My dye garden is growing! I started my seedlings a couple of months ago. THESE are chocolate cosmos! For those of you that know me… you know that chocolate is one of my favorite desserts! These chocolate Cosmos literally smell like chocolate! 🤤

I’ve been pressing my own flowers for a variety of projects. Mainly eco printing for my silk and organic cotton scarves. I do have another surprise project that I’ve done with pressed flowers; soon to be revealed! Stay tuned! Happy Monday! 🌺 🌼 🍫

A dirty pot filled with leaves, flowers, eucalyptus, silk, a rusty horseshoe (for good luck among other things) and vinegar! 😮 Check out the results! 2 beautiful silk scarves!

A new technique, and a new size (8”x72”) to add to my collection! How do you like them?

Thank you @nicolabrownclasheen for your inspiration! It was my first time trying a dirty pot and I love the results!

My spoonflower shop as been very busy, so I thought it was time to add some fresh new pattern designs! My inspiration for this particular one came from all of the seedlings I’ve recently planted for my dye garden! So many projects in the works!

My website is almost done. YAY! I’ll be doing a soft launch in the next few days while I still work some kinks out!

Did you know that Cochineal is an invasive insect found on prickly pear cacti, feeding on the plant moisture and nutrients? The bugs have a high dye content producing a gorgeous range of fuchsias, reds, and purples. The color can be shifted with different mordants. The dye from a cochineal bug is mostly used in food, drugs and cosmetics.

It produced these beautiful colors in this silk scarf. Thank you cochineal for your beautiful colors.

The beautiful color that Madder Root gives is like a warm sunset over the Colorado mountains. Madder Root is known for producing vibrant colors of reds, oranges, pinks and purples. It gives the richest color with patience; resting over night ends up achieving a deep, rich, saturated color. One of my favorite dyes to work with.
