I am super excited again…check out the newest issue of SEW Somerset, due out in December. My work made it, in two different articles.
Here is something I was working on about a week ago. Inspired by a book I checked out at the library, I made a few paper houses of my own.
I recently got a volunteer position to teach refugee women sewing skills. This is exciting!! It’s like getting a promotion. Last Friday I met a handful of the women. Their English is limited, and teaching them will be very interesting and very special to me too. It’s going to be a privilege to work with… Read More Teaching sewing multiculturally
I am pretty sure that eventually I will give resin a try. For now, I’ve been soldering again. Using the glass gems from few weeks ago, this time using my own doodles for images, instead of cutouts from already printed pages.

A signature is… Read More Book binding
My husband gave me a couple of packets of ATCs (artist trading cards) and this morning I thought I’d try to work with them. I picked a packet of stamps that I recently bought from Stampington, called Le Bon Genre. It’s a variety of character parts: faces, hands, feet. I am not good at judging… Read More Dancers and Queens
These are not new, but I had forgotten about them. A few months ago I made them in a sort of rush, as I had to send them off to a publisher. They arrived back a few days ago. It’s a true collaboration work: photographs by David Miller, assemblage by me. I added ribbon for… Read More Photo-shrinky-fiber works
