Unleashing the Inner Animal Challenge

Quilting Arts magazine had a reader challenge to find your inner animal. I depicted myself as a white persian cat. The hair is the same color. Even though I may look sweet, I can be agressive when necessary as shown by the captured mouse. However, I was not selected to be a finalist in the challenge so mine will not be in the magazine.

Harry's 60th Birthday

This is the portrait that I did of Harry for his birthday. All of his guests were so impressed.

I also showed it during show and tell at quilt meeting.

Red Looped Basket

This wrapped bowl is 7.5"x 14" in shades of orange and red. The edge has looped coils finishing with a red fish ornament. This is for sale for $85.00.

Athens, Greece doorway

This is the first of my new series. I have been gathering fabric and taking photos for the doorways or portals. While traveling I became intrigued by these old doors. I could let my imagine run wild as to who had passed through them, what had happened behind them, etc.

I loved the layers of paint and the revealing of colors by cracking and peeling. It is 19"x21.5". The price is $250.

Seafoam Bowl

This is my latest bowl. I wanted to give the illusion of water and green space. It is a reflection of the creek that flows past the house. The round beads have 3-dimensional frogs on them. There is a smooth green stone attached to the top of the bowl. It is 15" wide and 6" tall. This is my husband's favorite.
