Indigo As Medicine Etsy Shop: A space where ancestral memory, wearable art, and sacred textiles meet

Every item in my shop is handcrafted using natural plant-based dyes, many of which I grow or forage myself. My specialty is indigo, dyed the traditional way as taught to me by my grandmothers on the Sea Islands of South Carolina and on Daniel Hill and East Wilson, North Carolina. This practice is rooted in the Indigenous Geechee culture—where the dye pot holds not only color, but stories, spirit, and survival.

You'll find a mix of:
  • Hand-dyed indigo and natural dyed scarves and shawls
  • Pow Wow Shawls and Southeastern Woodlands Blankets
  • Abstract hand-painted silk scarves
  • Sacred mini pocket-sized prayer quilts
  • Quilted mug rugs made with repurposed, naturally dyed fabrics

Each piece reflects a deep connection to land, heritage, and healing. I blend traditional methods with a contemporary, artful eye—infusing every creation with intention, beauty, and cultural resilience.


Whether you're wrapping yourself in a scarf dyed with love or sipping coffee on a hand-stitched mug rug, you are carrying forward a legacy of handmade soulfulness.


Thank you for supporting heritage craft, slow fashion, and spiritual creativity.
