Laija started out as an instructor and practitioner of clothing design, creating her own dresses, sewing and modeling them herself. She has developed her own way of adorning silk and polyester items with the color elements and scenic excerpts of her luminescent paintings. Bow- and neckties decorated with this technique are clearly artworks in themselves. Some of the neckties are first printed and then painted on. She offers some of her paintings as templates for fabric print patterns.
