I have long been admiring Leya’s work, her sense of color and style, and her botanical dyeing wisdom! When I pitched this idea to Leya, and she wholeheartedly agreed to collaborate, my heart may have exploded with excitement and happiness! As it turns out, Leya has been dreaming of publishing her book, too - so this project is a dream come true for both of us!
