A new rooster in deep reds for the show at Young Blood. I cleaned my studio space and did some brainstorming and planning at the end of last week in order to get ready to make things for the show. The color palette will be the colors that I love the most right now –…
teacup pincushions
Friday morning I had an hour free and got to go to an incredible estate sale in Needham. A little cape-style house was being emptied of its contents, clearly a lifetime of collected treasures from an elderly couple. I always feel so sad at these sales, seeing old family photos up for grabs along with…
Trick or Treat!

a crow alights
Just in time for Halloween a black crow alighting. I was imagining something like this and it feels so good to be able to create it in fabric. This is the first piece in a what I am hoping will be the biggest and most cohesive body of work I've ever made. I'm thrilled to…

patchwork crab
I've checked out a big stack of sculptural technique books from the library. Most of these are pretty old, 1960's and 70's, and the text is rather dated, but the images have gotten me inspired to branch out again. It has been birds birds birds here for nearly a year and a half now and…
