Silk

Shelley Rozen lives in the Tacoma area of Washington state. She has two Etsy shops:

I make clothing from a mix of organic, new and upcycled materials. Each piece is individually handmade and one of a kind. 

I've been a huge fan of textiles my entire life. Sewing, weaving, silk screen, batik, and finally my knitting! As a recent knitter, I've taken to it with a passion. In fact, it's become my most addictive craft. I love it's portability and simplicity. My previous understanding of clothing construction really lends itself to creating the most confortable sweaters you'll ever wear!

We're a pair of friends collaborating our love of fabric. We live in Seattle with our spouses, children and dogs. When we are not sewing, we conquer home improvement projects like re-tiling front stoops and re-landscaping our yards. We try to get to Tokyo a couple of times a year just to spend as much time as possible shopping for textiles.

Leah Adams creates distinctive fiber art with handmade felt. Inspired by textures observed in the everyday world, from leaded windows to roof shingles, each piece is at once sculptural, functional and whimsical.

Learning from methodical exploration and happy accidents, Leah feeds on ideas gathered from the small people working at her side, students in her workshops and accomplished artists working across the world. Leaving the doors to inspiration wide open, her art grows with each suggestion and comment made by those in her surroundings.
