“Currently, my line includes assorted decorative pillows, table or mantle runners, lamp shades, wall art, aromatherapy eye pillows, blank greeting cards, purses and neck/head/waist scarves.

“I disassemble all the cleaned garments by hand and iron all the pieces before I begin my design process. Once my art is complete, you may notice subtle remains of the fabric’s past life. There may be a faint crease, a teeny line of needle holes from an original hand sewn seam, or a faint smudge or fading. I consider these beauty marks to validate its historical spirit. They add to the beauty and patina sought after in unique antiques and one-of-a-kind handcrafted art."
