The Creative Spirit has always been with me. In addition to my practice of Animal Spirit Talker, I am a designer, handweaver, feltmaker and basketmaker. I also enjoy fine beadwork and embroidery.
I began making art in 6th grade. Making art has helped me to keep my mind open and realize that anything is possible. It cleared the way for me to reconnect with my Guides, the animals and myself on a deep and soulful level.
The beauty of making art is the anticipation and excitement of what’s going to happen next. I have always seen my art in my mind’s eye and if I get “stuck”, I ask the question, “What needs to happen next?” I “see” the options. I love that my art tells me what it wants to be and that I am able to express myself through it.
As a handweaver, I weave furnishings for the home. Mostly rugs, blankets and table runners. My favorite fibers are wool and cotton and I weave on a huge Glimakra Countermarch Loom.
I am also enamored with bookbinding and journals. My journals begin by making the felt and resist dying the wool fabric. I also get to be creative with silk ribbon embroidery, beads, and vintage lace. Waxed linen stitches finish each book.
I can treat myself to expensive fibers while creating closed coiled basketry. I don’t need much yarn to create beautiful baskets. Silks and cottons are my fibers of choice. This method uses one continuous, round length of paper rush as the material to construct the basket, wound around or on top of itself, in an expanding or decreasing spiral.
