Wrapture textiles.


Wrapture textiles are created by Anne Leon and Kirsten Ingemar, two textile artists from Byron Bay, Australia.

Age-old dyeing techniques and modern innovations are used to create exquisite artworks, garments, wraps and scarves.

Leaves and flowers gathered from the local environment are carefully placed in dye pots or lovingly scattered on silk and fine wool cloths. Then heat and time work their magic, like alchemy. The foliage gives different hues and depths in line with the seasons and weather.

Each piece drawn from the pot has been transformed into a unique creation, a gift from nature styled by her moods and movements.
