Deflected Doubleweave
Deflected doubleweave has two layers of weaving that interchange throughout the weaving. These scarves and cowls are woven with wool and alpaca yarns.

White collapse weave shawl
The warp contains white organic cotton with some novelty yarns and is woven with a Japanese wool crepe yarn for the weft that “collapses” 30% when placed in water. This collapses the weave into a fabric that stretches and has life.

silver and dichroic glass pendant
This pendant has a dichroic glass “jewel” that I formed in the kiln and the silver is crafted from Art Metal Clay. A silver clay like material that you can mold like clay but when heated in a kiln everything but the silver burns off.
red lampworked heart
Just before valentines day every year, I get inspired to work up more lampworked glass hearts. A great sweetheart gift that doesn’t shrivel up and die in a couple of days. Just sayin…
silver and lampworked glass earrings
I enjoy making lampworked beads. There is definitely a thrill to playing with fire. These earrings are made with sterling silver wire and are a brain challage in how to put them on…at least for the first couple of times.
Black Collapse Weave Shawl
one of my favorite collapse weave shawls was this commision taken at the Driftless Area Art Festival. I am happy to say the customer liked it as much as I did.
