Digital Reconstructions of historic textiles and ceramics for film, theater, museums, Renaissance Faires, and re-enactors

Period fabrics and ceramics for costume and set designers

I have a passion for reconstructing old textile fragments and extant ceramics with Photoshop, and making them into usable pieces again.
Also specializing in faux surface design; using light and shadow to create the illusion of texture.

I offer custom work for film, theater, museums, Renaissance Faires, and re-enactors.
