Karin's
passion for working with textiles has developed over many
years. She's studied numerous techniques, many of which
are quite ancient, and she integrates many of them in
creating her own unique works of art. Her specialty is
creating flowering designs, and the effects she's able to
achieve using natural materials such as wool, cotton, and
leather, all combined in a swirl of different colors,
textures, and patterns, is utterly amazing.
She
gets inspiration from the collective work of similar
artisans from throughout the ages, spanning many different
cultures timeframes, and tastes. The beauty that surrounds
her is another source of motivation. Her daily walks in
the surrounding woods of the Black forest and the
harmonious community-life encircling her little town with
its 900 year old Roman church are all channels from which
she draws creative strength.
The enthusiasm of her family and friends about her art
craft drove her to let others participate in the beauty of
her work.
This online venue affords her great pleasure in being able
share her love for intricately crafted works. And
hopefully, a little of the serenity and cheer that Karin
seeks to communicate through her work will pass on to each
of you and brighten your day immensely.
