just getting started

Hi and welcome to my spot. I hope you will bear with me as I wind my through all this "stuff". I hope to be able to share some of who I am and what I am doing, and I hope you find it a bit entertaining and interesting.

For the past several years now I have moved from a strenuous career as a successful faux finisher and muralist to a much tamer combining art with fabric. Guess that makes me a fiber artist in at least one sense of the word. Because I can't seem to do the same thing twice, much less follow a pattern, doing one-of-a-kind projects seems suited to me.

To date I have done a number of twin sized, original quilts; a variety of wall hangings; some pet portraits with thread painting (mostly in pillow format); some wearables and purses; and dragons. As soon as I figure out how to publish photos I will include a few.

I have always loved fabric! Mom placed a needle and thread in my hand when I was 3 and I can't remember when I wasn't using it. Yesterday it was used on the current dragon I am creating. So much fun...such agony. I love the challenge and can be caught up for hours. Not really productive at times, but this is going to be a prototype so its all right to fuss with it.

I hope to share some of my excitement with you and most of all, encourage you to utilize your own creativeness in whatever way you can.

Blessings!
