An Old WIP Returns
A decade ago I was living in New Mexico. My career as a fiber artist was slowly taking off.
I had been in local art shows in Taos and Santa Fe. Then in 2012 I blew up my life and escaped to Portland. It was an intense time. So much change was happening all at once. I was experiencing so many emotions, I suppose it was only natural that my works in progress went into hibernation.
Lotus Pond
My Lotus Pond Blanket is finally finished! This project began back in 2017 when Josh and I were living in our first apartment in Taiwan. Originally I was going to make pink flowers attached to vines that would hang down from our balcony. It was my first summer in Taiwan and I was unbearably hot most of the time. Knitting wool was difficult so I began making small pink petals.
