Welcome to the mixed color collection!

 

All pieces created for mixed color are made by hand in the Catskills, NY.

 

Much time is spent lovingingly considering how the pieces are cut out of the fabric, stirring on top of a stove in my kitchen, drying out on the line in my backyard when the weather cooperates.

 

Slow fashion at its core - many hours of steeping and stitching are required, most garments going through two to eight different baths to create the colors and textures you see in the shop.

 

Some are patchworked from the leftover scraps saved from previous creations, some have been overdyed again and again until just the right color is achieved. Some have gone through so many transformations, been worked on for so many months, evolving and developing with the seasons, just like the natural materials they have been created from.

 

Through these garments and the process of creating them, I hope to inspire others to explore in their own ways with the plants and materials we are surrounded with, which is why I frequently lead workshops on techniques such as embroidery and natural dyeing.

 

Join me through the process...
