Morbid thoughts, maybe, maybe not.
One of the people I follow, was contemplating the afterlife of their art once they are gone. I too have contemplated the same thing about my choice of art and its afterlife without me. I have suggested that since I will be cremated it could just go along with my body into the crematorium. I Read more

Crochet – The New Fiber Culture
I wrote the below in 2006 much has changed but still make sure crochet continues to have a full seat at the table. It has been whispered for several years, a slow low reverberation, of “crocheters” taking their hooks to task, to the forbidden fibers. Challenging the yarn shop owners to “teach me” to put Read more

Will you…
You can find me in aisle thirteen, will you join me? Where is aisle thirteen? What is in aisle thirteen? Why am I, in aisle thirteen you ask? In the passageway of my mind I am in my aisle thirteen where fibers of all types, colors of every hue, tint and twist are hanging, crammed, Read more

“Darkest Hour/ Saved Our Soul“
I think I’m done with my soft sculpture (pillow). The colors were my take off point for this piece. Then came the beading. After finishing the two sides I felt it talking to me about the two sides. The front was muted and dull ish. The three crosses in a circle spoke much of this Read more

And so it begins
Taking a break from the orbs (still working in the round😊) and working on a beaded pillow. These colors are to me, a beautiful combination. Subtle, tonal and calming. The front is free formed and the back is circular. Much like my helmets that I design. Helter-skelter on the one side of the brain, the Read more

Installation complete
First and foremost I want to thank the Carnegie public library in Angola, Indiana for their awesome opportunity. They have a wonderful area for showing. They allow it to run for a month. They had a place card for my business cards and two clear stands for my artisan statement. The Stuben Art Scene generously Read more

Experiment on orb
I decided to see what would happen when I wet the felted orb then paint acrylic paint on it before embellishing on it. I wanted it to bleed a little then have paint on top. We shall see how it ends up once it is dry and embellished. Read more

I’m on fire
I decided to experiment with cleaning up felted wool in a slightly different way. I usually shear it after it’s felted (and still will do) because all the fibers get fuzzy and slightly mask the original colors before the felting process. I decided to burn with a lighter the wool in places where the color Read more

Browns and blues art bag in the works
I know it might seem that I am only doing orbs (ornaments/spheres) or whatever you call them but I am also working on an art bag too. They take longer to create but very satisfying. These are the colors I am using. The bag base is a wool blanket. It will be in during the Read more
