Happenings

Hi Folks....sorry I haven't been around much since the start of the year....since going back to work, life has been hectic with home visits, looking after my parents and continuing my quest with my Etsy shop and making things to sell in it....I am loving making coiled rope bowls, and dyeing vast amounts of fabric and scarves with my indigo dye....just two weeks ago I spent an AMAZING 3 days with a master indigo dyer from Mali, West Africa.  His name is Aboubakar Fofana...and he has collaborated with Donna Karan and her fashion label, amongst others.....it was an absolute privelege for me to participate in his workshop.  I was able to purchase some lengths of 100%, hand woven organic cotton,Melvin by artisans in Mali.  With some of this, I hand dyes some graduated blues and created this cushion from some of the fabric.

Here is a link to my Etsy Shop if you would like to see some of the things I have for sale.....https://www.etsy.com/au/shop/CocoIndigo
