Smalls

These are card size (5"x 7") and so I was able to do three this afternoon trying to take advantage of the sunshine. (top two are on parchment cardstock, the card immediately above this text is on Ivory,
all Strathmore. They would look very similar if I printed them, but there's something about the actual original handwork that makes a card special.

Creative Endeavors

My marks on the pages of my sketchbook/journal help me to become more aware of my surroundings; a visual diary and sequential record of days of my life. Sometimes I'm working from my car, an "onsite studio". Almost always these drawings are "drawn on location".

My knitting and my weaving are other ways for me to explore color and texture; to use my hands to create and build up. Again the choices are a sequential record. The inches, feet and yards of cloth become a "journal", similar to the way pages eventually make up a book. I prefer to weave the design as I go along rather than to have it all figured out ahead of time.
