Connie Rose, Textile Artist

Work by Connie Rose, textile artist, Eureka, California, Nelson's newest sister city.




All the scarves here were first woven, and then dyed, using a technique called Woven Shibori.

Here are the NDP pics. More of Connie's work can be found on her website, her blog, and her Etsy.

wow, glad you splained that was shibori, because I was having a hard time wrapping (warping?) my brain around how the patterns occurred. Exquisite stuff. A friend of mine just got back from Indonesia and is sending me 3 batiks. VERY excited. :)

Hey, a profile pic! Now I don't have to imagine where the accessories and the shoes go!

Indonesian batiks are wonderful, aren't they. As are they ikat, especially the ones that go warp- and weft-wise.
