I have written in many types of formats – academic, informational, and fictional.
I once wrote a rhyming play about the summer reading program where I worked and performed it with a coworker and puppets to an elementary school. The kids loved it.
My portfolio can be found here.
I weave tapestries and baskets made from discarded wires and often use repurposed items and upcycled textiles in my work. I also weave belts on an inkle loom, triangles on a triangle loom, and am learning some other looms.
I offer local personalized instruction on tapestry and inkle looms for those in the Tucson area. Please contact me here if you are interested.
Stay in the loop with current projects.

In the car Trying to explain to my son How this country was founded. Christopher Columbus, Disease, slavery Puritans – the religious nuts Too crazy to stay in England. Blankets infected with smallpox Given as gifts of death. And guns, guns, guns. I hate driving.

Trying to find a path in the dark Stumbling and bumbling And oh so frustrated I have forgotten how to let My feet find the way
So the fun blog post I just tried to post earlier had problems. Yay for technical errors! It looked like everything was fine in the preview. And the video I loaded was less than 1 minute long. So what went wrong? I’ll try again later when I’m feeling better.
I started a new weaving project. It’s another tapestry. When I began, I thought I was going to working on a sun, but it quickly morphed into something else.
Today would have been my father’s 88th birthday, if he hadn’t died last March. I’m making a chocolate cake in his honor. Actually, my son and I are doing it together. And while my dad was a fan of all desserts, I think I remember my mom making his mom’s Devil’s Food Cake for his…
