The artist carefully weaves and designs "Puzzle Coats" with a palette of luxury fibers, including mohair, eco bamboo, silk, and Inca cotton. Embellishments of tapestry, ikat, and shibori are among the techniques explored in the "puzzle-ing” textile design. Jackets are lined and then finished with an edging of related crocheted fibers. A variety of whimsical buttons – sometimes hand-painted – are added. All are available as one-of-a-kind items.
