FOUR WINDS CREATIONS

 FOUR WINDS CREATIONS

I am primarily a self-taught artist. For many years I’ve had a passion for all things fiber, textiles, and metals featuring rich color to create my art.

I offer my clientele “one of a kind” wearable art, such as handmade felt items, jewelry accessories, eco-dyeing, and encaustic wall hangings. I expect transformation in my designs as imagination and curiosity comes to life and evolves in my studio.

The basalt rocks that are incorporated in my jewelry are carefully selected on my travels throughout the Northwest. Each stone has its own story and individual personality. There’s a lot to say for simplicity and what it contributes to my designs.

Experience my unique designs at Pottery Place Plus in Spokane, at special events in the Northwest and also at the Farmer's Market in Sandpoint, Idaho.

Felt Purchase Care

Thank your for purchasing one of my hand-felted creations. Whether it is a hat, scarf, bag, baby booties, or clothing article this is the way you can take the best care of your item. Hand wash in lukewarm water and mild soap. Rinse, and gently squeeze excess water in between a towel, and lay on a flat surface to dry.

Some items may be ironed on a wool setting with steam, while it is still damp to retain flatness and shape. Keep in mind that wool is a natural fabric that will "pill" (balls of wool that come to the surface), like a wool sweater. Pick off the pills and it will refresh the look and feel of your item.

Wall hangings should be kept out of direct sunlight to minimize fading and destruction of the natural fibers. Wool has natural oils referred to as "lanolin." Lanolin helps repel moisture naturally.

You can take a damp cloth and spot wash if necessary. Wool has hard, microscopic external scales that give it natural stain resistance, and low static fibers attract less dust than other fibers. If dust builds up, gently vacuum with a soft brush or gently beat the backside to dislodge any dust.

Enjoy the wonderful warmth and tactile nature of your new purchase.
