My first inkle band is finished and I’ve set up the loom for my next. So very satisfying to make and see this next band develop.

Yarn arrived yesterday and trying out something new.

I have no idea what I’ll do with this band when finished. That doesn’t matter though. The process and the possibilities are the main focus part. I’ll figure out a use for it eventually.

I made a rainbow bowl for a client. If you’d like one too, let me know. I’d be happy to make one for you too. 🌈

I’ve been working on something new recently. Really time consuming, but oh so satisfying when it’s all done.

I’ve been making fabric wrapped coiled bowls and little dishes. So cute and useful!

I am a visual artist and a maker working with textiles.

I used to also have an Etsy shop but no more. They are now selling merchandise to celebrate a new concentration camp in the Everglades, FL. I will not do business with them for that choice and have cancelled my account.

In my travel sb from a trip to Baja.

While there, pelicans were everywhere. They are such interesting birds and have a distinctive dive-bombing crash & splash in the water when they catch fish.
