Welcome to Pamela Palma Designs
Ah, textiles! Worlds within worlds, fibers provide endless opportunities for my artistic expression.
First there is the world of basic fibers - animal, vegetable, and chemical. I like natural fibers, especially linen, cotton, silk, and cashmere. They are incredibly tactile and sensuous. Comforting to the touch. Natural fibers are sustainable too!
Second there is the world of techniques. Weaving, knitting, embroidery, crochet, and sewing are my favorite forms of visual expression. Each technique has its own qualities and purposes.
I include color as a world within worlds. Color interactions affect our moods. I often design works as series by following a format with color changes. The colors make an entirely different statement.
So many choices! Where do I begin? My textile art is inspired by my environment, by the materials on hand, by my mood at the moment. I like to think my Muses nudge me in a particular direction, as if they plant seeds. Idea seeds to pick up a needle and thread and embroider; to warp up a loom and weave; to lay out a pattern and sew. My fiber journey travels along so many paths of creative expression. It is infinite.
Come have a look, view my collections. GALLERIES - The Palma Store is where you will discover all the varieties of work I make. Fine Art ~ The Money Weavings ~ Art to Use ~ Art to Wear. Gift Cards are available!
PLY-Miami is the fiber art guild. Join, become part of a rewarding textile community!
Classes will resume when it is safe to be in close proximity. See what I offer.
