Here are Annie's dresses dipped in Indigo and drying. They look beautiful!
She'll be sewing in the zippers and finishing the arm holes this week, steaming them and then off they go to stores around the country.
Next on deck is Maresa Patterson's new project stellalove.com. She is making gorgeous dresses with our fabrics dyed in logwood grey, pomegranate, walnuts and myrobalan. I'll post pics later this week!

SOLID naturally dyed textile: send me an un-dyed, white or lightly dyed textile of your choice, and have it custom dyed in a solid color of your choice. Ideas are duvet covers, pillow shams, shower curtain, or ???
PATTERNED naturally dyed textile: send me an un-dyed, white or lightly dyed textile, and I will naturally dye it with a Shibori* pattern to your liking. Ideas are the same...duvet covers, shower curtains or ...?
A private Shibori* and natural dye workshop with me in Chicago. Learn how to make several different patterns through hand stitching and folding cloth, and also learn the ancient tradition of natural dye. The final object is up to you--something gorgeous for your wall? a set of pillows to accent your sofa? We will work together to decide the right project for you before the workshop.
Connected as Jane Palmer (388 friends)
Let's see...
Became obsessed with textiles as a youngster
Received not only one, but yes, two degrees in textiles
Started Noon Solar with my friend, which is a business that integrates flexible solar panels into bags to charge up cell phones and iPods
Started naturally dying fabrics for Noon Solar because we couldn't find them anywhere else
Started Noon Design Studio with same friend, in order to naturally dye fabrics for other designers, artists and generally rad people who also love them
And am now taking on Noon Design Studio as a personal and solo project because I love it.
And that, my friends, is what is called full circle, or in my amazing world of eco-textiles, a closed-loop cycle.
Thanks for all the support, I am so grateful to be given a chance to do what I love to do!
