In creating my Shambolic fiber art, I use a combination of contemporary and traditional felt making techniques in a unique way to form pieces with exceptional movement through texture and color. Composition of color is fashioned using pieces of silk ripped from recycled silk garments.

Fine merino wool is used to fiber seam the composed silk pieces together. During the fiber seaming and final felting process, the wool and silks move according to their own natural flow miraculously providing exceptional texture and movement. This captivating combination allows creation of various forms of wearable art that evoke deep feelings and strong emotions.
