Wow ~~
That is all I can say about Amy Designs, one of our newest Artfire Fiber Artist members. She use fabrics as a paint brush and jackets as her canvas to create fabulous wearable art.


Amy's Studio Greeting: "I love fabric, color and texture! Combining them is my favorite activity. I have been sewing for decades and continue to take classes, read, experiment and grow creatively. I hope you find something you like here---and I welcome requests to create something special just for you!"
