Welcome! I am Lotta Helleberg, the founder of inleaf and a textile artist with a great love for botany, gardening, and design.
Leaves, in all shapes and forms, are the true inspiration for my creations. Most of my pieces are leaf printed, a technique in which impressions from actual leaves make up the pattern. Paint is applied to the back of the leaf, which is then pressed onto the fabric. Slight variations in each print create magical images. This individuality, combined with carefully chosen color- combinations and luxurious fabrics, insures that each item is truly one-of-a-kind. The result is a collection of objects that brings the deceivingly simple beauty of nature into everyday life. Here you will find art quilts, pillows, kitchen linens, sachets, and note cards.

I take care to produce my work with minimal environmental impact. All inks and dyes are water based and non-toxic and I only use natural, organic, or reclaimed fabrics and recycled papers. Each piece is designed and constructed in my Charlottesville, Virginia studio.
