Washing Instructions
These handmade items need special care & love. By following a few simple tips, you can extend the life of your garment's vibrant print. Handle it with the tenderness it deserves.
Keep washing to a minimum if possible.
Turn your item inside out to protect the print while hand washing your item, washing machines often have residues of cleaning products that will bleach your image. Use a phosphate-free liquid soap. All-natural soaps like Dr. Bronner’s castile soap, or Ecomax Natural orange laundry wash are safe to use.
Avoid the use of borax, Oxyclean, washing soda, powdered detergent or soaps, baking soda, any form of washing salts, or bleach. The application of these cleaning agents may alter the color and diminish the vibrancy of the print.
Air dry or tumble alone on low heat. Do not dry in direct sunlight.
Overwashing may cause the print to fade. If fading occurs over time, washing the print in a dilute bath of hydrogen peroxide can usually restore it to its original intensity.
Just like a good pair of vintage jeans, natural dye will change over time. I encourage you to embrace the ever-changing shades it brings. Though the colors may shift and blend like a mesmerizing watercolor painting, it's a testament to the living essence of the dye.
Use care while handling cyanotype prints, as sweat and hand oils may also cause discoloration.
It is important to note that secondhand clothing may exhibit signs of general wear and tear due to its pre-owned nature.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Cyanotype is a 19th-century alternative photography printing process. When the 2 part cyanotype solution is exposed to UV light it turns a deep shade of blue. I paint the solution onto natural upcycled textiles, create shadow with pressed local flowers and expose it to the sun to create my one-of-a-kind pieces. The possibilities are endless in its application and that’s what makes it so fun!

I’m mostly a self taught artist, but was strongly influenced by my dad and his sisters growing up. They were all the type that could hone in a trade. My dad focused on carpentry, my aunt Anne focused on stained glass and my aunt Paula was the ceramicist. Growing up I was the art nerd in school. I loved anything that worked my hands - especially pottery, jewelry and photography. Painting on wood has always been cathartic. In highschool I won a few awards and in college was heavily recommended I pursue a photography degree, but was always too scared to make the jump to an art degree full time. I still dream of going back to school. One of these days 😏
In the meantime I’m embracing experimenting with different mediums between life’s other responsibilities.

Yes! This is important. Because cyanotype pigments are sensitive to the environment these garments do require a bit of extra care.
Limited washes are best.
When washing stick to cold water, inside out if possible, phosphate free detergent and low to no heat. No bleach. Air dry is best.
Like your favorite pair of Levis, these will alter over time, as you expose them to different environments.
A simply hydrogen peroxide + cold water rinse will help immediately bring back the bright blue if they start to fade.
Care instructions are included with every order.

THANK YOU FOR ASKING!
I go to matcha for caffeine and decaf coffee - often with some concoction of functional mushroom powder, creatine and collagen - for ritual and daily routine.
I love a homemade iced oat milk latte but equally love treating myself to any of the amazing coffee houses we have in Milwaukee.
