COTTON & FLAX: WINTER WHITES

I am so happy I got the chance to meet Erin Dollar, the owner, maker, and designer behind Cotton & Flax. She was showcasing her limited edition textile goods, as well as fine art prints on paper, which had been made in her home studio in Los Angeles. 

I found out that each step of the creation of Cotton & Flax textiles is completed by Erin, beginning with the pattern design and the selection of heirloom quality fabrics. According to her bio, "Erin draws each pattern by hand using brush and ink, and the drawing is later transferred to a silkscreen to create multiples on textiles. When it comes time to do the printing, Erin scours local sources to find the best linen and linen blend fabrics to hand print with her designs. She then carefully hand prints each piece of fabric with her original designs, which she later sews into pillows, teatowels, napkins, or coasters."

I love this collection of winter whites, where line and texture become the stars.
