Textile Art
Characters brought to life through fabric and imagination
Each textile piece I create tells a unique story, combining traditional craftsmanship with creative vision to bring characters and narratives to life through fabric, thread, and careful attention to detail.

My Creative Process
From initial concept to finished character
Inspiration & Concept
Every piece begins with inspiration - whether from history, literature, personal stories, or pure imagination. I develop the character's personality, backstory, and visual elements.
Design & Planning
I sketch initial designs, plan the construction, and select appropriate fabrics, colors, and materials that will bring the character to life while ensuring durability.
Pattern Creation
Each piece requires custom patterns. I create templates for the body, clothing, and accessories, ensuring proper proportions and fit for the character's unique requirements.
Crafting & Assembly
The careful construction begins - cutting, sewing, stuffing, and assembling each component. Every stitch is placed with intention and attention to detail.
Details & Finishing
The magic happens in the details - facial features, hair, clothing embellishments, and accessories that give each character their unique personality and charm.
Final Touches
Quality inspection, final adjustments, and photography complete the process. Each piece is documented and carefully prepared for its new home.
