Heart patchwork shibori and ecoprint

Hello, I'm Gabriella, and

Welcome to Leaf Alkemy

A textile artist's studio where I create one-of-a-kind textile pieces for garments and homeware using ecoprinting and natural dyeing techniques.

I'm also working with patchwork quilting, embroidery, and crochet, incorporating my fabrics and hand dyed yarns and thread.
My passion for nature extends beyond textile art and into organic gardening, growing flowers, veg and herbs which I use for dyeing, cooking and herbal remedies.

Here you'll find inspiration for eco-printing and natural dyeing, embroidery projects and digital patterns, ideas for upcycling clothing with these techniques, interesting crochet projects and art quilts.

The inspiration to create naturally dyed embroidery kits that serve a useful purpose was that most of the kits I see are plain white squares of cheap fabric, which you don't know what to do with when you finished the project. 

​I wanted to change that, and make colourful fabrics dyed with plants, which can be embellished with hand embroidery, and serve a useful purpose as well as being beautiful.
