Flower Pin

Flower Pin

Lynn Smetko-Texas Handwoven hand dyed silk

3”x3” approximately Original one of a kind pin.  Fiber content: silk hand dyed

Textile arts have always been a part of my life, but a trip to Santa Fe twelve years ago inspired me to learn Handweaving. Technology is a fascination of mine, and it is in weaving that I discovered how technology meets art. The design phase of my projects is accomplished on a computer with weaving software, which I then use on my computer-assisted AVL loom. My third passion is color, and dyeing is how I achieve my visions. I love to see how color works with structure: even the simplest patterns change dramatically when combined with multiple colors. 
Each of Lynn’s pieces is a one of a kind original hand crafted and hand dyed. Contact gallery to see other pieces by Lynn Smetko. We carry shawls and scarves, some pieces are hand beaded.
