After three years of developing this book, I’m so excited to share that The Ethical Fiber Artist is officially available (at the link in my bio)!🌱

This 198-page hardcover guide explores the history of fiber arts, the environmental and ethical impacts of the textile industry, sustainable plant fibers and innovative materials, and the practices of eight ethical fiber artists working toward a more conscious future.

Thank you @megandrobinsonwrites for this write up about @tuneintoyoumedia in The Iowa Source! 🔗 ⬆️

It honestly makes me emotional (in the best way) to see the names of some the incredibly talented artists I have featured, like @valdozzy @kemenamusic @cj_obassey. It’s been an incredible journey so far and it all started with Valdozzy commenting on one of my posts and then me listening to his song MAGIC ft Kemena ✨✨✨✨✨✨💖💖💖💖

It might seem literally all over the map to go from hot Nigerian musicians to Afrobeats promoters in Portugal, to local artists in Fairfield, Iowa, but diversity is the spice of life!!!! And across the globe and varying genres, love is universal!

And that’s really how this started and what keeps it going.
