One Thread, One Seed at a Time

For the warp, I’m using a light green tweed yarn that adds dimension. The “floating” flecks of color makes it more tactile.

Time in the Winter Studio

Some of the benefits of waking up early are the quiet and looking out the kitchen’s window to notice the moon at dawn. It’s a sublime time of the day.

Early Rising

It’s always a gift to get up early to enjoy the quiet before a busy day begins.

Drawing with Thread

Working with nature gives us an opportunity to slow down to look closely.

Subtleties of Textiles

Before I began weaving, there were subtleties of textiles and dyeing/printing with vegetables from the rooftop garden in my work.
