wovenplay






I think I may have to stop everything and go try to replicate this little feather tiara by Wovenplay.  Right. Now. But seriously, everything about Katherine Edmonds website is inspirational.  In her own words...

Embracing the use of old techniques, hand-crafted textiles, practical form, and the natural qualities of materials, Wovenplay cultivates the savoir-faire and inspiration of the past to create modern, sustainable couture for the everyday artist and adventurer. Wovenplay inspires creativity, self-reliance, appreciation of art and the inherent beauty of traditional arts and crafts. The collection is hand-made or hand-finished in Wovenplay's Manhattan studio. Fabrics are tinted in natural or low-impact dyes. Garments are constructed with the highest standards by local workforce or fair trade producers and packaging is recycled and/or biodegradeable. The company supports the International Solar Energy Society with a portion of profits every year. Founder and designer, Katherine Edmonds, has a background in art, textile design and traditional french dressmaking.
