A little color, texture, and renewal for the holiday season. 🧵✨

A handmade silk-blend scarf, a one-of-a-kind textile brooch, and coordinating earrings—each thoughtfully created from reclaimed fabrics, precious scraps, and beads.

Layered textiles, hand stitching, and small details bring new life to materials with a past. Each piece is made slowly, by hand, with its own story to tell.

Handmade with care by Fecho Designs for the holiday season. 💙❤️

My quiet work… the kind that can travel with me, even to the dentist’s office while waiting for the grandkids.

I’ve been working on a series of one-of-a-kind scarves, combining my hand-printed swings on cotton/silk blends with upcycled cottons and silks. Even the smallest scraps have found a purpose—becoming brooches and earrings, finished with alabaster and jasper beads.

Slowly made. Thoughtfully gathered. Nothing wasted.

More pieces from this holiday collection coming soon.

Still working on the latest landscape prints (chine colle, Tetra Pak printing, monoprint, gouache, frottage of found textures— and now thread). Also added a few stamp cutouts of mushrooms, and birds. “Less is a bore.” - Robert Venturi.

From photographs to drawings to linoleum blocks. 🌿🕷️🍄

During my residency in Tamaqua, Pennsylvania, I found myself looking closely at the small things along the woodland paths—mushrooms appearing from the forest floor, wolf spiders moving through the undergrowth, granddaddy longlegs, and the delicate architecture of an orb-weaver’s web.

Those observations have now become a set of nine linoleum blocks.

A Little Bit of Everything

So…what actually went into these pieces?

A little bit of this.
A little bit of that.
And quite a lot of experimentation.

Thin Asian papers became layers of chine collé, adding bits of color, transparency, and texture.

Tetra Pak became a printing plate—because apparently, the things we usually throw away can have another life in the studio.

Botanicals and found objects were pressed, inked, and turned into monoprints, adding the marks and textures of the landscape itself.

Then came the part I love most: putting all those pieces together and seeing what happens.

Layer. Print. Rearrange. Add. Remove. Print again.

The residency may be over, but these details are reminders that the work is never quite as simple as the finished piece makes it look.

A little paper.
A little ink.
A little plant material.
A little recycled packaging.

And a whole lot of curiosity.

That’s the fun of making. 🌿

Post #5. Micro-Residency at
Bischoff Inn- the work moved into stone, waterways, and urban decay. The recurring relationship between these elements is less about conflict between nature and industry than about connection and entanglement. Human-made systems cross the landscape; natural forms move through, around, and across those systems. Neither remains entirely separate.

The white ground provides space for fragments to emerge, disappear, and remain unresolved. Layers of translucent color, printed imagery, drawn lines, and material traces create a sense of accumulated time—of what has been built, weathered, altered, abandoned, and renewed.

Rather than depicting Tamaqua literally, the series seeks to create an abstract vocabulary of place. Mountain Veins and Urban Threads considers how landscapes carry evidence of both natural and human histories, and how those histories continue to intersect and transform one another.

Post #4. The Micro-Residency at
Bischoff Inn. One series became a set of four prints, balancing urban structures with botanical imagery. I was interested in the tension between the softness and persistence of plant life and the harder edges, textures, and evidence of human presence within the town. Working through abstraction, I collect and transform fragments of the observed landscape—botanical forms, geological textures, architectural structures, lines, marks, and remnants—allowing them to overlap, interrupt, and become entangled with one another. Vertical forms suggest structures, pathways, seams, or threads, while organic lines and botanical impressions evoke roots, waterways, geological fractures, and the natural rhythms of the land.

#3 — Exploring the Landscape. The Micro-Residency at Bischoff Inn.

Once the studio was set up, the real exploration could begin.

I spent the first day experimenting with chine collé, layering imagery gathered from the landscapes around Tamaqua—woodlands, lakes, and the structures of the town itself.

It was a day of trying things, moving pieces around, seeing how images could overlap and how the natural and built environments might begin to speak to one another.

With the remaining time, the work began to divide into two directions. “Mountain Veins and Urban Threads explores the intersections between natural landscapes and the built environments that shape them. Developed during my residency in Tamaqua, Pennsylvania, the series responds to a landscape marked by mountains, waterways, vegetation, industry, and urban infrastructures.
