RE-PURPOSED, UPCYCLED, 100% PURE WOOL AUSTRALIAN MADE VINTAGE BLANKETS. INDIVIDUALLY HAND DYED.
FOR THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 2015 I COLLECTED THESE ICONIC AUSTRALIAN BLANKETS AND THEN RE-DYED THEM USING MACRO SCALE TRADITIONAL SHIBORI TECHNIQUES TO COMPLETELY REVITALISE THEM INTO SOMETHING UNIQUE AND CONTEMPORARY.
EACH BLANKET IS WASHED AND THE ORIGINAL LABELS ARE REMOVED. THEY ARE THEN TIED USING A VARIETY OF TRADITIONAL SHIBORI OR RESIST METHODS, BEFORE BEING INDIVIDUALLY HAND DYED. THE ORIGINAL LABELS ARE SEWN BACK ON ALONG SIDE TOBY JONES’ HAND EMBROIDERED SIGNATURE, RESULTING IN A UNIQUE ONE OF A KIND PIECE.
