Hand dyed and eco dyed silks, wool and linen. Mixed media textile art is one of my great loves. Silk is my preferred fabric to work with, you will see it used in a variety of my creations both 2 and 3 dimensional. Nature in all its rawness is my inspiration as I layer silks, wool and other textiles, adding embellishments to create on of a kind pieces of colourful wall art. Wet felting is my newest
love and I just have the most fun creating fabulous vessels and wearable pieces. I create hand painted and hand dyed silk scarves in long and square. I use a combination of techniques, some are based on traditional Japanese methods with my own twist. I use professional French steam fixed dyes which retain wonderful vibrant colours when fixed. I offer a bespoke service if customers would like a scarf created as a gift or to match an outfit for a special occasion. Photography plays a vital role too in my work and I do offer a selection of my images as photographic prints along with prints of my many pieces of soft pastel artwork. As I evolve as an artist and creative, there are other works emerging: mixed media pieces, oil painting and printing are a few I am dabbling in. Follow me around the web and you will see my work, you will also notice there are many crossovers as my work in interwoven across the use of materials. In collaboration with my daughter, we created Wildly Created as a marketplace for our unique hats and other wearable accessories. Under this umbrella, I create gorgeous silk and mixed media hats and fabric wrist cuff bracelets. This is an evolving business and it is well worth browsing our collections. linktr.ee/rebpowell for all the links.
