Collective Artisans
Alice Franklin, founder of Effe Collection, successfully transitioned from professional photographer to textile and wallpaper designer upon returning to the states after two decades of living and working abroad. In Effe designs, old world cultural sensibilities meld seamlessly with new world, bold spontaneity.
Based in Georgia, Fringe Market is run by Mark and Melanie Cosby. Mark's 25-years of experience in the trimmings industry and BS in textile engineering has led him to innovative breakthroughs with decorative trimmings. Together, the couple create fresh, modern designs with new products almost every day.
I specialize in creating unique and eye-catching patterns for various products, including fabrics, wallpapers and home decor items. As an artist I draw inspiration from various sources through my photography.
