I have combined my background in Biology, Floral Design and the love of flowers with the ancient and versatile medium of wool to create whimsical and colorful vases.

These designs emanate from my heartfelt connection to sea, sky, the love of nature and the need for color.

As I arrange the whisps of wool on the table I have in my mind’s eye the perfect image. After rolling and fulling the fabric I always astounded at the results. One never knows what will exactly happen.

These vases can be used for flowers, branches, dried grasses. Some of the vessels are transparent enough for candles.

The glass is recyclable, the wool and silk will biodegrade.
