about karen kuwatani
 
 
 

My background is in textiles and clothing. Since I was a baby, i've had a passion for clothing which grew into a desire for designing and making various useful and decorative fashion and home accessories. 

I am an accessories and gift designer/craftsperson; a California native currently living in the Seattle area.  I am inspired by everything vintage French, old movies and even color combinations found in beautiful wallpaper designs.  I make each piece by hand as special gifts for friends, family and an extended "family" of supporters.  I love to be creative at home working with bits of yarn, beads, buttons, ribbon and wire; creating uniquely styled objects.

The pieces shown on these pages are the outcome of my passion and enjoyment.

I welcome your feedback and questions.

My work has been shown at Sol Floris in Seattle, WA and Summer House in Mill Valley, CA.
