SEWING Visit the SEWING page on this website to see samples of Lise's home decor sewing. Lise is now making eco-cushions from remnants of fabric. They are available for sale at three Kingston locations: P'Lovers (123 Princess Street), Minotaur Games and Gifts (165 Princess Street), and the Gallery Shop at the Agnes Etherington Art Centre, on the campus of Queen's University. They are also available online through Etsy. Lise is also making them to order, with the customer choosing the fabrics and colours, if desired. Call (613) 542-3923. Lise has also started a line of eco-T-shirts. These gorgeous multi-coloured shirts, tunics and dresses are created from second-hand t-shirts. They are on sale at three retail locations. In the stores now are summer dresses and tunics.
- P'Lovers, at 123 Princess Street, Kingston, has several lines of organic clothing, as well as lots of other beautiful and practical things for the home, and babies.
- Get Funky Boutique, at 39 Montreal Street, Kingston, has very cool shoes, along with funky clothing.
- The Ottawa store is called Adorit, and is at 153 York Street, in the Byward Market. They also carry up-cycled sweaters, hats and mittens made by Preloved.
WOMEN'S HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT Lise is still researching connections between our health and the environment for an ongoing body of bookworks. She has prepared a questionnaire for people whose health has been compromised by toxins in their environment, be it air, water, food, work or familial relationships. If you or anyone you know has had experiences relevant to the nature of this research, please download a copy of the questionnaire (in .pdf format).
