Thread wrapping, hand stitching. Temari balls originated as children’s toys. Today they are a Japanese art form.

Coiled basket, hand embroidery and beading. I have had many opportunities to collaborate with wonderful people, coming up with outcomes that were greater than the sum of us, hence 1+1=3.

Embellished with beads and embroidery, hand quilted. This piece is from an NSNG workshop. The middle piece of fabric is pre-printed. The embellishments are my own designs.

Basketry fiber wrapped with wool yarn, embellished with beads. I love the colors of autumn. When I saw this handspun yarn in a store on Washington Island, I immediately knew I wanted to make a basket with it.

Machine pieced, hand quilted, hand embellished with beads and embroidery.
