Years of experimentation as a painter led to her self-dubbed fusion style, which is energized but harmonious. In 2005, she began designing fabrics for her handmade handbag collections. When her fabrics became more popular than her handbags, she refocused her work on strictly fabric design. She sells her own fabrics to hobbyists and retailers, and she creates surface designs for home décor, apparel and paper goods.     Kim Rosin 10440 SE 19th St, Bellevue, WA 98004 Phone: 425 467 1363 email: kim@kimthings.com www.kimthings.com   Seattle based Kim Rosin designs her own fabrics for her locally manufactured range of homewares and accessories.
