The roots of Talitha Cumi Company’s colorful designs really go back some time ago when, as the daughter of an Alaskan bush pilot, Tiffany’s personal intrigue was sparked around the fires of the Alaskan Native craftsmen. Whether it was beading moccasins, carving ivory, piecing fur parkas, or weaving birch bark baskets, she was mentored by what she considers some of the greatest artists. A number of years after moving from Alaska and needing to make sense of life’s scraps and find some personal renewal, she turned back to the healing power of creativity and color; beginning with a basket of yarn remnants, she let simple crochet stitches and some new methods in the ancient art of felting turn into a sacred purpose. Now producing a line of patterns as well as a limited one of a kind ski hats, bags, backpacks, purses, and rugs....each created to inspire individuality, awaken personal adventure, creativity, and encourage local rural economy by incorporating local craftsmen and piecework. “World Peace begins with internal peace.” A percent of all profits benefit Women in Renewal, Inc. to help provide life changing workshops and shelters to victims of domestic violence. A special fund has been created to establish this work in Alaska. For more information on Women in Renewal Inc. go to WomeninRenewal.org |
