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…
Read full story...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....
