until then…

I am here to say goodbye and hello—all in the same breath. This blog is moving house and I hope you will come along for the ride.

The new blog now resides with my website. Besides the new home, much will stay the same. I will still write about my work, inspirations, and life. I will share photos, information, and ideas.

This blog has brought me so much joy throughout the years. Many friendships have been forged thanks to its existence. My intent is to continue to make it a source of inspiration and beauty, and I encourage you to visit its new site often to join the conversation. Until then…

blue lines

I have been playing with my indigo vat again. The result is an array of papers, dip dyed to create blue lines and shadows. I used a few for a new collection of notebooks called "blue line". Some of the books are larger than previous ones—5.5 x 8.5. I love the feel of these books and the blue hues appear so different depending on the paper source. You can find a selection of these new pieces in the store, where you also will discover a new sale section with items offered at 20-40% off the original price.

In a few more days I will find myself right here, in this little cottage on the edge of Lake Michigan, with two of my greatest friends, Christine and Kelly. We will spend a long weekend stitching, cooking, dyeing, chatting, and stitching some more. Can't wait...

This Friday is the opening of the show "fiber + fabric: art • craft • design" at the Craddok-Terry Gallery in Riverviews artspace in Lynchburg, Virginia. Three of my pieces were selected for this exhibit (Similitude being one of them) which is a group show of works by Virginia and West Virginia members of The Surface Design Association.
