"Mosaic in the Garden of Silk and Roving"

        Felted Silk Mosaic Hanging (silk remnants from the Le Mariage Shibori Collection)
                                                          Artist's Private Collection


Hello All,

Here's a peek at one of my felted mosaic hangings done with remnant pieces from my Le Mariage Shibori Collection.  More to come in my latest collection, "Throw Down, Girl", presented by Pia Zza!  I've been super busy in the last year and a half traveling, studying, researching and taking numerous workshops with wonderful instructors, amazing artists and fellow felters.  What a "world of talent" is out there.  I am so fortunate to have met them all, and become fast friends with many.

Thanks to you ALL (you know who you are) for the wonderful growing experience, and the irreplaceable memories.  "FELT ON GIRLS AND GUYS..."

Look, Mama.  I did it!

My very Capricorn mother would be so proud of this photo.  She always gave me drive and utmost support for my art and creative spirit.  I am my mother's daughter when it comes to my own elation and pride over this most happy occasion, and being a part of a historical moment.

I thank the magnificent ladies of Sweet Honey in the Rock for believing in me and my work, and for carrying it forward in the presence of First Lady Michelle Obama during their groundbreaking White House appearance.  Wow!  I am almost speechless...not quite, but close!!!
