From Colleen:
Originally from Idaho, is a fabric/fiber and leather artist .She has led many
“lives” – teacher, mom, seamstress, designer/space planner, costumer, actress, business owner
and artist. With a B. A. in Theater and an M.A. in Communications – Costume and Set Design,
she has always had a bent towards the creative life. Her inspiration was her mother who taught
her to sew and love fabrics .
During her artist years in Idaho, she had a business called “Soft Things” making fabric decorator
pillows, screens, wall hangings and creatures for adults... Today’s “Dragonfly by CW Design” is a
continuation of this love of fabrics using discontinued designer upholstery samples and leath-
er to make one of a kind bags, totes and purses. She has branched out to add Leather jewelry,
and other leather items to her work.
Another Idaho business, “Fantasia Costumes”, found her making costumes for TV shows, an
opera company, the circus, Halloween, st*****rs and female impersonators. Her costume back-
ground has led her, today, to with leather mask making. She uses vegetable tanned leather and
acrylic paint to create molded and formed leather masks for wearing or for display. Her inspira-
tions are the seasons, mythology and costume history.
