Cameos!
#1 VisionaryI adore exploring applications of color, texture, and motifs. By being immersed in the processes of making batiks, I'm able to bring new and innovative approaches of these beautiful works of art to the quilting world. I enjoy using those in projects I create.
|
#2 OriginativeThe creative flow is a constant for me. Whether it's 3 a.m. on a Tuesday, or on a connecting flight to who-knows-where, I've got my pen and paper at the ready (and my coffee too). But wherever and whenever it may be, I push my designs to be truly authentic, with a little touch of "me".
|
# 3 InspiredI'm inspired by the small things of every day, to the large awe inspiring creations by both mother nature and man made. I enjoy the history of textiles, am always inspired by the processes used to create them and find it satisfying to translate that into my projects.

Creativity in process
Into the Woods pattern by Seams and Dreams, playing with Painted Leaves
Playing with blocks out of Modern Quilt Blocks book, can batiks be modern?
|
Zigzags are a passion! How they add texture!
|
Playing with batiks in quilting applications helps with design process
Exploring projects with collections of batiks--yes collections! I believe batiks should be shown in collections to make it easy to create stunning projects! I like to see how well they work together when selecting for a collection

Design needs to be versatile, challenging and inspiring. Batiks offer that platform to create projects for the quilting industry
