I think these textile accessories are really nicely done - very simple and clean. Carol Gilbert, the designer of
{Yorktown Roads}, uses materials drawn from the natural world and alters them with random folds, pleats and seam-lines. She uses linen and wool because of their beauty and versatility, allowing the texture and form of the original material to shape the work and enhance particular aspects of the textile in order for them to be seen in a new way. All of the work is produced in her small workshop - the fabrics are hand-dyed, she drafts all the patterns herself, and she constructs each piece.
She also makes these great wool coasters with re-purposed leather on the back. Love them!
All of these can be purchased on her
{Etsy} shop.
