I combine fabrics, threads, beads and buttons of varying textures and colours, and then use applique, embroidery, patchwork, quilting, couching, beading, knitting and many other interesting techniques to create a piece of embellished fabric that can stand alone as a work of art. I makeup these art works into unique handbags or throws.

I love texture- the contrast between the smooth and shiny and the roughness of seude or boucle, fur pile and wool or ribbed upholstery fabrics. I combine fabrics, beads, buttons and threads into into pieces of textile art, and from these I create unique handbags.
I live in a magical city, Cape Town where I am surrounded by inspiration - mountains, forests, vineyards, stormy seas and beautiful summer days and nights. My handbags are available from one of THE best markets in SA, the Country craft market in Somerset West, and I also have an Etsy shop, teejaybags
