Thank you for coming!
My name is Branda Shirlean Avis, I am a mixed media artist with a small hat brand called Cut Threads. I offer custom acrylic paintings, graphic design, photography, as well as corporate hats. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.
I am currently working on some dreamy trees, a small collection of originals will be coming this spring.
Follow me on instagram to see my progress. My newsletter will have more information as well.
Living Sky
New Piece is Finished!
Light illuminates a trio of larches through the moody sky.
The larches have been painted mostly with a pallet knife and have a luster paint that shines in the light. The whole tree is not made up of this paint, just where the light would hit it in nature. they will gleam with a soft light on the piece in your home. The studio picture shows this effect best.
The sky is special as well with a sheen added to the lighter parts of the sky.

Cut Threads - Hats for Everyone.
Cut Threads began in 2010 as a way for my to showcase my weaving. I made 3 hats, then 50, then thousands, it was a Kootenay thing for a while. After having my son and the wonder years of Covid it seems like a great time to take a kick at the can again. Cut Threads LIVES!!
Cut Threads Hats!
I am excited to be back making hats, after a long hiatus. I decided to go with a re-vamp of the Hardcore Mellow, a favourite of mine and my best friends.
