Entanglement
Josh's stepmom mailed me a box of gorgeous yarn with a request to make her a piece of art.
I decided to weave a piece and add embellishments. During her and Josh's dad visit we took them along the pedestrian bridge over the Umatilla River. I remember looking down at the river and soaking in the moment.
Find Your Way
I completed it early spring 2023. Find Your Way is named after a Rising Appalachia song. The yarn used consists of handspun yarn that I spun over a 14 year period.
Art Shows
It's been a whirlwind few months! There's been a lot happening here at HQ. My art has been featured in three art shows this year.
Art Progress
I've added building details from beads I had in my stash. A friend gave me some sparkly embroidery thread and it was just what I needed. The inspiration originally After I finish detailing the buildings I'll work on the sky. Maybe it will be done after that? Time will tell!
Hula Hoop Loom
Years ago, I had a small table loom that I used to dip my toes into the weaving world.
It was fun but I was in college so just didn't have the time to explore it deeply. In December I started a new art project. This hula hoop had been sitting in the back of my craft closet for months. Winter seemed a perfect time to pull it out and begin something new.
