My latest creation is a 2 in 1- hand made leather vessel/bowl
Designed to be used either side for a different decorative look
A beautiful OOAK handmade vessel I created from soft leather scrap and reclaimed fabrics from vintage sources such as tableclothes and doilys. All moulded together with French 1950′s dressmakers ribbons.
I use mine to display my antique & vintage button collections, shells and French coins on shelves and tables.

I’m so hooked on dyeing lately so here is my latest batch of cold water dyed fabrics and papers. I’ve had these dyes since the 70′s and they still worked really well. I was able to keep diluting the dye bath to get the very subtle tints. I’ve also been doing a bit of experimenting with rust dyeing and absolutely love it
On my other blog Outlook8studioI have a tutorial to share with you on rust dyeing
Have fun!
