My own work has always involved machine and/ or hand embroidery as well as other techniques. Most recently , Handworks Gallery in Acton, MA took this piece-What Bird Told Coyote. It is embroidery on appliquéd material, on canvas with cotton 6 strand, on colored scrims, with commercial rubber minis-(snake and lizard) 6′ by 6″

Besides seeing all the wonderful artists whom you have followed and whose books you have, you can revel in the beautiful textile art by lots of groups and students of the art.
I have beautiful cotton organza and wonderful canvas for embroidery and images of
inspirational work by so many artists.
I am always working on more than one thing at a time. Here are my work breaks from painting fabrics for backgrounds for wall pieces, and in between assembling collages. Several Good Fibes brooches and maybe a few necklaces will replenish my currently inactive Etsy shop before the holidays along with some terrific vintage 80’s gallery jewelry. I will certainly report on my progress towards that goal.
The power of magic is all around us and inside us. When we perceive “how exquisite is the beauty of an ordinary day,” we are inside the magic. My shadow box piece holds the magic of childhood, my embroidered Mexican Jacket, flowers, butterflies, fruit, dolls, color and texture and images of a party, a festival, a celebration that I carry with me, even through difficult times. Did they ever exist really? I think they have always been part of me and the magic of my imagination.
