The slow textile

It's a dye job :)  While working on color samples and the exchange of ink to natural textile ratio absorption, thought you might like to see how the same color is absorbed differently on each textile.  Cotton canvas, linen and natural pima cotton all take this color so uniquely.  Also interesting to note that the results look nothing like the original color in the dye vat, right?
The inquiry is often made 'how long does it take to make a tote / clutch / bag?'  Well, since I utilize and embrace many of the slow textile methods, it seldom takes less than 2 days to design, construct and finish a Seaside Cloth bag.  And thanks to the support of my wonderful customers, I hope to continue to do so for a very long time.  If you go here, you can see everything that is available now in the shoppe.
