Fleeting summer
august 2025
The spring and summer months have come and gone, leaving behind that golden afterglow that always feels both fleeting and unforgettable. I spent these long, bright days in the studio, translating the season into textile pieces. I am ready to be inspired by the fading colours, for shorter days and early morning walks in crisp air.
One of the projects close to my heart was making a collection of lavender filled suns. Each hand-painted sun was naturally dyed in the colours of the rising sun, every piece unique in it’s own way. They bring me so much joy to look at, and their scent is heavenly. I hope they brought a little happiness to you too!
I made a quilt that felt like gathering the changing colours over spring and summer. It was such a quiet and joyful piece to work on that was dyed slowly, step by step, dye bath after dye bath until all pieces blended in a way that felt right.
After finishing the botanical quilt I made a small collection of wall hangings. Some of them were dyed with madder, one of my favourite dyes to work with. It makes me so happy to send these pieces to their new homes.
