Back to the shows!

The pandemic has been tough on all of us but we are starting to see light at the end of the tunnel.

2022 has been booked solid with art shows and I am once again going to be displaying and selling my work in various location across Ontario. Exciting times are ahead for all!

Please check out my line up of shows under the tab Upcoming Shows. It will be updated periodically as I book exhibits this year.

I want to thank all my supportive customers who kept in touch with me during the pandemic and helped me look on the bright side by talking to me about my art, my passion.

I have a gorgeous, eye-catching turquoise/blue/green scarf that Laura made. I get complimented on it all the time.

Karen Taylor Lopez

These scarves are absolutely gorgeous. We have never seen anything quite like them and so we bought a selection for our gallery in Stayner. We love the way Laura includes a list of the plants she used from her garden for the sun dyed scarves. Great service too.

Lesley Martel

Laura creates beautiful and unique items with her amazing sun-dying process! Whether it's a scarf or a tie (wonderful gifts!) or something larger (like her shower curtains), you'll be delighted with your purchase. A+++++ vendor, great communications and excellent service!

Sun Dyeing in Process

This is a picture of me showing the various stages of sun dyeing with plants. The scarf I am holding was dyed and the plants have now been pulled off to reveal the images imprinted on the fabric. The 3 scarves on the table are still baking in the sun and transforming. If you look closely you will see that I have removed one branch of leaves from the scarf on the left to show you what is happening under the leaves still out in the sun being exposed to the UV rays.
