I'm a fiber artist living in Kentucky after 20 years in Chicago. Grew up in Brazil, married to a Moroccan. I have a store on Etsy (http://www.rayela.etsy.com) and one on eBay (http://stores.ebay.com/RayelArt_W0QQsspagenameZMEQ3aFQ3aSTQQtZkm). Both have a focus on vintage ethnic textiles from around the world (mostly Asia, some South American), and some things that I've made as well. I write about different aspects of the textile/fiber world in my blog, http://fiberfocus.blogspot.com/, featuring guest artists and fair trade organizations. Come visit!
