Custom Sacred Weavings that tell the story of your Life
~ Custom pieces made uniquely for you ~
*Books are currently Open*
I make unique hand woven pieces for folks to reclaim who they are, express their creative side, honour their ancestors or an animal ally that they work with in their spiritual practise.
From storyteller cloaks, to ancestral shawls and altar cloths. From animal essence pieces such as the fox, bear, heron or wolf, my weavings are designed to encompass magic, and protection, comfort and warmth.
All my pieces are hand woven with your unique spiritual practices and being in mind, and are created to reflect aspects of that path and who you are.
Together we will dive into a creative process to create a custom piece to last a lifetime.
I have always had a deep love for textiles, unique patterns, and old pieces that have been handed down over the centuries. So it was a great joy for me to realize that these things could so easily come together within the context of weaving.
My style is very much inspired the Japanese tradition of Saori weaving, which is Sai meaning "Everything has its own unique beauty" and Ori which means "Weaving".
The idea being that when you weave from the heart, each piece is unique, and flaws are embraced as a sign of beauty adding to the texture and uniqueness of the piece.
When we receive a weaving that was made by hand and not a machine we are engaging with the creative aspect of the art, and there is a deeper more inherent respect given to the piece, something that feels more interconnected and living.
It is my hope by bringing back this old practise I can create sacred pieces that will last a lifetime and hold more meaning then something bought at a store, created by a machine.
Custom, Hand woven, Sacred.
These pieces are a journey that you are I will take together that involves not just the creation of a Shawl, Altar cloth, Ancestral piece or Storyteller cloak, but a sacred piece that that holds the essence of your own unique being.
Using wools and natural fibres that carry the ancestral memory of where you come from, together we will enter into a time of liminal space as we speak of the matters that reside deepest in your heart.

One of my most favorite examples is the "Seaweed Shawl" I made for a sister whose unique calling is in the herbal and medicinal realm of seaweed as sacred medicine for women. Read about it here.
It was not that long ago I brought my first small loom home and marvelled at how long it took me to be ready to learn the ancient craft of my ancestors. Mostly it had to do with patience and timing, as right now I am at a time in my life where our children…
The Process:
Within the container of process I bring all of my being to the table, my creativity, connection to the land, my ancestors and my ability to walk between worlds to see more clearly what is being asked for, unique to you as a being.
The process will begin with a deposit of $200 that will include an in depth consultation in which I can learn about you, who your ancestors are and the uniqueness that is you and this also goes towards the final cost of the piece you choose.
Together we will speak of matters close to the heart and what you are imagining for your sacred piece. We will then shift into talk of colour palette, sacred additions such as feathers and shells, length and style.
After this I will give you a full quote on the price--which will include the deposit you have already paid.
Once we begin the process I am all in, and will begin gathering textiles, plant medicines, earth element dyes, unique fibres and colours for the project, also during this time if you yourself have fibres or other sacred things that you would like woven in you can mail them to me.
During this time I like to use WhatsApp so we can communicate easily and I can send you images of yarns and shots of the process as I weave.
I am also a spinner and often will spin specific colours or fibres together so that your unique intention is woven in, this process is never the same twice and entirely unique to you.
Some examples are: Horse hair, strips of old quilts or clothing that was handed down and loved, any fibre you made yourself or has significant meaning for you, or charms you would like woven in or tied on after etc....
