NEW KIMONOS + A LOVELY STUDIO DAY!!!!

 First day of Spring yesterday and I spent a lovely day in the studio getting ready for my Wincey Mills POP UP SHOP in Paris, Ontario in April .

 It was a nice sunny day but still cold.  I needed a fire to warm up the studio.

 The Spring/Summer collection is coming along nicely.  Getting all of my little bits and pieces together to make my POP UP SHOP  for MY HIPPIE HEART   look nice and bohemian.  It is not as easy as when I do the outdoor shows, no tent to hang things from.

 Here are just a few of the Vintage Silk Sari Kimonos I finished.  I think the second, RUBY TUESDAY, is my favourite.

 Yesterday I worked on the Hand blocked Organic Cotton Kimonos.  Love this fabric, a bold grey.  I have not named it yet, any suggestions?

 This Indigo Shibori Kimono I made yesterday as we'll but this one if just for me!  I love the soft Organic Cotton and this pattern is gorgeous.

HAPPY 1ST. DAY OF SPRING!!!!!!!!

HAVING A ZEN HIPPIE DAY!!!!!

SHIBORI ORGANIC COTTON KIMONO COLLECTION!!!

My Shibori Organic Cotton Kimonos are coming along nicely.  I am very happy with them.  The cotton is so soft and lovely to work with.

This is BLUE VINE.

TEMPEST BIRD in soft Aqua.

INDIGO SUMMER.   A lovely long Kimono.

DESERT FLOWER.

This collection will not be available online at MY HIPPIE HEART right away.  I am premiering them at my POP UP SHOPS this summer at WINCEY MILLS MARKET in Paris, Ontario.  Starting on Saturday April 14th. and 28th.  If you live in Ontario stop by the Wincey Market is gorgeous.

SPRING IS COMING + MY HIPPIE HEART IS GETTING READY!

Spring is coming and MY HIPPIE HEART  is getting ready to hit the road for the summer.  Starting
April 14th. I will be at WINCEY MILLS in Paris, Ontario for a summer of POP UP SHOPS.  Stay tuned for Events in your area.

FIRST DAY BACK IN THE STUDIO!!!

 I went back in the studio today for the first time since I lost Atticus, it was hard.  I knew if I did not go back soon I would not want to work in there for a very long time.

I worked on and finished my first Shibori Indigo Cotton Kimono.

 I did not think I would ever love working with anything as much as my vintage silk sari fabrics but I am just loving the soft cotton Shibori.  It is hand dyed and hand blocked and the irregular colours of the dyes are amazing.

 I am working on the only piece of Turquoise Shibori with birds and flowers tomorrow.  I will post some photos of both of those kimonos when they are finished.
