Hello Friends near and far. I have been on a journey. I have been absent from writing. After much time spent on honing skills that add to the sum of my persona, I have returned to the studio with the purpose of allowing a thread to be followed. I have set my intention to allow…

I’ve been hard at work in the studio, looking longingly at the clouds rolling by. This particular scarf turned out quite well! Here are a few more: I hope you are enjoying the sunshine!
I thought you might enjoy seeing a little project I had the honor of completing for a Christmas party back in December. It was a one-night-only installation that went up in 2.5 hours (with the help of some lovely assistants) and came down in no time the next morning. I was only in-charge of the…
