Craft in America: Threads
I know where I’ll be Friday, May 11 at 9:00 pm. I’ll be in front of a television watching Craft in America: Threads. It’s the award winning documentary series exploring the history of craft in America. This one has a special place in my heart, it’s about four textile artists who use fibers and threads to [...]

Spring and Inspiration
We have it! It is here and it is so beautiful. Spring! It’s all about new beginnings, when anything is possible and all options are open. I’ve been thinking about new work, about color, shape and patterns. It feels like I could do anything. So many ideas. I look in any direction and am inspired. [...]

Connecting
One of the best things about my job? The wonderful people I meet: the collectors, the special occasion, one time only buyers and the stop by to say hi and see what I’ve been up to folks. I love getting to know each and every one. Then there are my fellow craft show artists. I’ve [...]

No Skirts?!?
You know how predictions for the future are a fusion of what might happen layered on top of the way things are now? We see the new and guess how it will impact tomorrow. But it’s not really the future. It’s today with the new added in. In particular, you see it with fashion. The [...]

Fantastic Show! Baltimore 2012
Baltimore 2012, what a fantastic show! I had a wonderful time, visited with old friends, made some new and sent many of my jackets, coats and separates out into the world. A good thing! I shot these pictures before the show started, everything is in place and ready to go. Like the table before [...]

End of Winter
It’s still wet and drizzly here in Portland, but there are signs that winter is at its end. Tulips emerging. Sprouting daphne buds. And my favorites, peonies, with just their tips showing. Another sign that winter is at its end? The ACC Baltimore Craft Show, it’s always on the last weekend of February. What? You won’t [...]

Beaded Cuffs
I’ve always liked the bold bracelet look. You know, either a few big wrist cuffs like these worn by Coco Chanel. Or piled on, like these beautiful Navaho silver and turquoise bracelets worn by that midcentury fashionista, Millicent Rogers. It’s not a new concept. Where there’s jewelry and people who love it, you’ll find wrists [...]

Art Beat Host
Jule Gilfillan, of Oregon Art Beat fame, wore a couple of my tops for her hosting duties last December. Art Beat is Oregon Public Broadcasting’s art program, with stories about artists, musicians, performers, fine crafts,… if it’s in the arts, they’ve probably covered it. Jule added her own twist by wearing her own sheer top [...]

Los Angeles in January
I went to Los Angeles to relax, see the sights and visit my friend. Southern California, where, even in January, the sun is out and exotic flowers are blooming. Where lemon trees grow along the sidewalks and in the back yard shrubbery. Deborah said, pick some to take home. I asked, which ones are ripe? [...]
