Melissa has been working in surface design on fabric for over 30 years. She is a dyer, weaver and spinner but most of all, a Shibori and Indigo dyer. She also works in devore, a burn out process on cellulose fiber. Since 2003 she has collaborated with California designer Catherine Bacon and was in the Spring 2005 Ornament magazine in an article on Ms Bacon’s work featuring Melissa’s fabrics. She fell in love with Nuno felting in 2005 and has added felting to her approach to altering fabric.
