Creative Collection of Sequim Fiber Artists:

Unique As You- Renne Brock-Richmond of Unique As You creates colorful one of a kind handcrafted art, apparel, and textiles with individual style that is as distinct as yourself. Renne’s mission is to enhance people’s presence with asking, “What Hue Are You?” Her designs are original from inception with hand dyed yarn, to hand woven fabric made into apparel, and silk scarves with the distinguishing process of digitally printing with hand painting. No two are alike. Renne embraces the empowerment of brilliant hues and individualism expressed in appearance. www.uniqueasyou.com

She explores knitting, weaving, and felting techniques for transforming plant and animal fibers into decorative and useful textiles.

Her explorative nature often guides her beyond the traditional techniques and insures one-of-a-kind creations. In addition to quality construction, her creations are imbued with respect and joy that make them true Fiber Treasures to be used and loved forever.
