A quick print

A little print that just fell out of the sky for me. I hope you'll let me know what you think of it!

New Print Redux

I've reworked this print and I'm much happier now with how it looks repeated.

Fish and water print

A new print! I think I'm going to make a duvet cover out of it. I'm really pleased with this one. I've been thinking about how to do it now for about a year, finally I have a solution!

Black Silk Sublimation Scarf

This is a black silk with sublimated polyester tips. Our neighbor had a great dogwood tree that I photographed last spring and changed the background to black and transferred the image to some polyester fabric. What do you think?

Green Swirls Sublimation Scarf

This is a different colorway for the swirls print. I think it looks pretty spring-ey. It's silk with polyester printed tips.

Green Swirls Sublimation Scarf

Spring colors sublimation print scarf, silk with polyester printed tips.

Green Fish Print Scarf

I had the fish net design printed on jersey and had a shirt made and some ties, which came out well, and decided to do the sublimated and dyed print on the cotton/polyester fabric which I've used quite a bit. I think it made a nice scarf with the fish print as the tips and the sublimation print on dyed fabric as the body.

Velvet Pillow

This is the front piece for a pillow that is about 60" long. I made up the quote myself and did the sublimation on a very long piece of paper to transfer it to the polyester velvet. I was thrilled with the result and so were my folks, who are the recipient.

Sublimation Print

This is a sublimation print with neutrals and cyan. I just did it as a sample, but it can be made to any length.

Two images of work I just finished for a client here in KC. I'm happy I got to do this new work! It was exciting to get out of my box and do some new stuff. The scarf was a real learning experience!

Anniversary Pillow

This is a piece of velvet I printed for my parents anniversary. My quote and design. It's large, 45" wide by around 12" tall, so it covers the head of the bed. It took quite a long time to do, but I am very pleased with the results.

Brocade/Bomaki scarves

Combination of sublimation and shibori! I'm really happy with these.

Out of the Archives - for a good viewing

You have just seen this one on the blog, but I'm proud of it. It's the latest sublimation print, the fish/net with the blue background. It was a good experiment and I'm pleased it worked out. It was great fun to do and a lot of fun to print.

Here is the neutral checkerboard print sublimated poly cotton. I made this into a duvet cover for my parents, and it's also being made into a dress. The fabric is nice and light and has a fabulous hand to it. I really like this technique and this print. It's a lot of fun to do.


The Silver satin bomaki and the Black satin bomaki. The black has been made into some shrugs by Sophie and Gwendallyn and you can get one at Haught Style. The silver was made into a cute cowl neck top, but I think it would make a fabulous mother of the bride suit, whether with pants or a straight skirt.



The Green Silk, the Pink Silk, and the Yellow Silk. The green silk was made into a dress, but I still have close to 10 yards of it, and the yellow silk was made into a beach hoodie and is nothing but scraps now. The pink silk, I have 3 yards of and noone seems to know what to do with it. It's not my usual color choices, I was taking a risk. I guess that's just what happens.

The bronze bomaki. This one has been made into jackets and scarves by Sophie and Gwendolynn, and they are for sale at Haught Style in Prairie Village (that's in Kansas folks).

Blue Fish/net Sublimation Print

Here's an up close look at the print.

Duvet Cover

This is a duvet cover I made for my parents for Christmas out of the neutral checker print. I'm pleased with it. It feels great and has a great weight to it. Just perfect for snuggling down on a cold winter's night.

Dress from Jen Kao Design

Here is a dress that Jen Kao created from some of the fabric I made for her Spring/Summer 09 Collection. It didn't make the runway, but that's o.k. I think it's mighty pretty, but way too short for me! Hope you like it. Jen Kao's website is http://www.jenkao.com if you want to see her whole show. It's very cool.

Green Colorway - Fishnet Print

This was the original color idea for this print. I am really pleased with the way the others have worked out as well. All in all, I am really happy with this piece of work and am planning on getting some yardage of the print made up to use. Haven't selected which colorway yet though.

Bright Colorway - Fishnet Print

I really like the way this color choice came out for this print. Lots of different colors, but they go together well I think.

Neutral Colorway - Fishnet Print

Another color option for the fish print. Much more subdued.

Red Colorway - Fishnet Print

Final colorway for my new print design. What do you think of it?
