Hello,

After the fact, I learned that quite a few people missed my most recent random draw and scarf drop, mostly I think because social media isn't getting posts out to people. So, I will be better about sharing everything here via newsletter.

Things to keep an eye out for :
- I will have TWO large weavings off my loom and available for sale in the next few weeks. One will be 5+ meters (photo above), the other will be naturally dyed around 2.5 meters (photo below).
-In the next month I will also have a collection of Sculptural Merino Scarves available.
-New adornment pieces available both online and in person at Truth or Consequences Contemporary.

In the background world of a clacking loom and myriad projects at the gallery I am prepping yarn and diving back in to some natural dyeing. Below is a dyepot in the works of onion skins, one of my favorite household dyes!

On my small loom, that is currently residing in the Gallery (T or C Contemporary) I have a warp of naturally dyed bulky merino that will become sculptural scarves and cowls. (More scarves this time)

You can find my new adornment creations here.

I will be sure to announce both via social media and newsletter about my upcoming weavings, so stay tuned.

Wishing you all the best,
