This piece is all about the beauty of the West. Hand-stitched onto beautiful hand-dyed fabrics with incredibly vibrant wool batt collection. Copper fiber creates a flow of stone that begs a bit of treasure hunting. It holds all of the colors of the West; turquoise blue of the stone and sky, Navaho coppers, creamy white, earthy chocolates, and deep ambers.

This little “Architexture” style piece was created with all black & white prints but it was just a little too quiet, even after I played around with feather yarns and other fun fibers. Well, now… nothing that a splash of lipstick fuchsia won’t brighten up, is there? All better and MUCH more…”Cocktails, anyone?” 18" x 24" Soft textured with hanging sleeve. $125.00

OK. It’s like this. I come from the M.C Escher days not M.C Hammer ones. I will admit to inhaling. This print cried out to be played with so I went round and round and up and down. Then it begged to be let into Studio 54… hence the Swarovski. Forgive me. 23” x 36” 175.00
Kaleidoscope print quilted atop hand-dyed cottons. Embellished with framing and Swarovski crystals.
