April 2006
It’s a new month, and I’m trying out my new web site by sending this update of news!
For the month of April, the Ghost Ranch Museum in Abiquiu, New Mexico, is featuring the weavings of the Fiber Arts program of NNMC. If you’re in the vicinity, please do stop in and see the show. I have three of my larger design pieces in the show, and there are also many fine weavings from other weavers in the program. It’s worth the trip!
I’ve just completed a series of smaller design pieces for table tops, small areas, etc. and also have prepared my first series of fun handbags decorated with colorful mini-weavings. Next, I’ve warped my loom for making some more of the heavier weight rugs for the floor. I’ll be working in shades of brown, gold and dark green, then in black, red and oatmeal. Let me know if this sounds like something you’re looking for! (see the “for the floor” sections of this web site for sample designs)
As the days lengthen, the sun stays up and lights my weaving space for extended hours. So, I’m looking forward to much more time on the loom. Rugs will soon be “jumping” off.
And, on the loom in the studio at El Rito, is the one-of-a-kind “Florida rug” which includes oranges, golf clubs, a golf hole, an alligator, and, most impressive–a hurricane! Soon, photos of this piece will be appearing on this web site in the “larger design pieces” section.
Thanks for visiting with me! More to come next month…
