Let's think about our clothes this Plastic Free July. As @annetteyoungdesign of @sustainabilityvictoria said on our Sustainable Living Festival (@slfestivalaus) panel earlier this year, saying NO to polyester is one of the most impactful clothing choices you can make.
Polyester is a plastic-based fabric made of oil and it’s become popular because it’s so cheap to make. Polyester clothing takes a very long time to decompose and the mircofibres it sheds are contributing to turning our oceans into plastic soup. The production and end-of-life effects of polys are among the top reasons fashion is so heavily impactful on the environment. It’s one to avoid this #plasticfreejuly and beyond!! #choosetorefuse

Purple, the color of magic! ✨ A juxtaposition of calm blue and fiery red. Purple represents wealth, creativity and wisdom. Purple is the most powerful wavelength of the rainbow. Purple was never my favorite, but due to the respect I have for it, it's growing on me! •

Green Gardens, Gros Morne National Park, NL, one of my favourite spots on earth. I didn’t measure this tapestry before sending it to its new home but it’s pretty big Thanks so much to all of you who have stuck around even though I’m not posting very often. I’m still in love with tapestry weaving and I enjoy every stolen moment at my loom I’ve only had time for custom orders this year and I’m currently booking for September
