MAKE INK FROM NATURAL DYE
To make ink using natural dye powder, mix chosen dye powder with a liquid medium like water, and add a binding agent like gum arabic to help the pigment adhere and create a smooth ink consistency; you can adjust the amount of dye powder to achieve the desired color intensity, and strain the mixture to remove any particles before using it as ink. Once cooled, add wintergreen essential oil to preserve.

Ode to Intention
I designed, prepared the textiles, constructed the garments and photographed this body of work. Inspired by sustainable textile practices, I used second hand materials such as salvaged denim and paint to create "one-of-a-kind" textiles. I created this collection to highlight discarded materials in the realm of fashion. My sustainable designs seek to challenge the conventional notions of modern fast fashion.
