How Divine

I'm excited to announce that I am now one of the fiber artists contracted to create clergy stoles for C and M Designs! This opportunity to combine faith and fabric to enhance worship experiences is so awesome... I hope that as these unique pieces make their way out into the world that many people will be as blessed by them as I am in creating them!

My first piece: The Burning Bush

A combination of hand dyed, ice dyed, and commercial fabrics. The reverse features hand painted and hand embroidered gold crosses set in a royal purple batik.

God revealed himself to Moses in the burning bush...on fire but not consumed, standing on Holy ground. I chose a fabric for the bush that represents to me the ancient, never changing presence. The ground as it progresses down the design is broken, just as humankind lives in a broken state in need of God. Present in every level of the ground are slivers of intense blue, representing the living water of God's grace.

Sawtooth in the News

This morning I headed out bright and early to do a Surface Design segment on Fox8 News as part of their feature story on Sawtooth School for Visual Art. It was so much fun!!



I'm glad I couldn't hear what the anchors were saying, because I would have busted out laughing at the prospect of printing someone's face this way!  :)

The Surface Design class is just one of many that I teach there; there is also Soy Wax Resist, Shibori Dyeing, and Silk Scarf Taste of Art classes. Dates and times are in my side bar and also online at Sawtooth. Enrollment for winter classes is going on now, so I hope you'll call them and sign up soon! Sawtooth School 336-723-7395
