Meg Hannan’s vivid, intricately detailed fiber millefiori slices are durable gems used in lively lightweight earrings, pins and pendants. She uses a variety of fabrics, including recycled fabrics embellished with luscious beadwork that adds motion and textural depth. The sliced fabric is almost weightless, so wearing the artwork is a pleasure!
The Seattle-based artist began producing her fiber millefiori in 1985. Her use of hand dyed fabrics and cords gives the her work with a lively glow. Individual pieces are slightly different from one another, making each item a unique work of art.
