Ebb & Flow Fiber Arts
/
I create my felted art vases and vessels by transforming raw wools and other fibers into fabric, using a wet-felting method. The process is comparable to how felt is created in Mongolia for yurts, hats and clothing.
For intricate surface designs and textures, I incorporate other fibers:
Flax: the stalks of this blue-flowered herb plant are used to make textile fiber
Ramie: a fiber yielding plant in the nettle family.
Silks: Mulberry silk and recycled Sari silk.
Tencel: a cellulose fiber obtained from wood pulp using recyclable solvents
My embroidery and our Lummi Island shells make each piece unique.
