Winter Fiber Fest - February 19th

Come visit me in Ithaca!

More New Work

Happy to be in my studio and working!

New Year New Work

I have been working with some new shapes and materials: copper and copper washers all tacked together with brass rivets.  In process and completed: 2 bib necklaces and 3 pendants.

Ornament Time of Year

I have worked hard to create many ornaments this year.  See them at Gandee Gallery and Cazenovia Artisans. Such a fun way to start the season!

Custom Order- A Fiber Artist's Necklace

What artist doesn't like custom orders? Joining visions with a client can be a wonderful sharing of ideas which enhance the final project.

So I was tasked with making a necklace for a fiber artist friend.  She liked the idea of incorporating some the tools of her trade not the necklace.  We worked on a length and basic concept.

Then I got to play.  Here is the finished piece.  I used bobbins, thimbles, a Monopoly piece and a vintage chocolate mold plus a repurposed piece of chain.  She is very pleased.

Roseland Cottage Fine Art and Craft Festival

Back in February, when life was much quieter, I thought it might be fun to go to a craft show out of state.  The Roseland Cottage Fine Art and Craft Festival caught my eye with the thoughts of fall color dancing in my head and the church dinner scheduled on Saturday night.  Sounded ideal.  And I hope it will be.  I have been working quite hard to bump up my stock and even obtained a Connecticut tax number.  Doing new shows is a bit like dating, although I haven't done that for years, you don't really quite know what you are getting into.  But nothing ventured nothing gained. So I am almost ready to pack the car!  On my way to Connecicut!

Little Houses

I have been fascinated by little houses I see being built around the nation.  So I have made some of my own.
