If you've recently seen me at a show and gone away thinking, " OH, I shoulda....coulda....woulda...",
then this is the page where you will find those weavings.
Unique to my
weaving are two techniques:
1-of-a-kind imagery, finger-picked with lace and pattrn weaves
and "Rainbow-Dyed Warps". This goes further than

What?!? are all these varied wraps? "Loom
Shaped" garments are made from rectangles taken straight
off the loom. They are sized, seamed, possibly darted and fringed,
but are rarely cut. Loom-shaped
styles derive from many cultures. "Imagery

Shruggie
Cocoons
& Shruggies
are smaller proportions. Shorter, but wider to cover arms.
Length
is to hip and sleeves are at elbows. The Quetzquemetl is an old-style poncho, made of two pieces that attach end to selvedge and hang in a diamond shape with a vee neck and fringed seam --more graceful than the traditional square poncho. The back view also has a fringed seam. In the "QQ" above, each panel is actually a patchwork of 2-3 smaller panels. Ruanas are an open cape, like wearing a shawl over each shoulder, seamed up the back. Quexquemetl

Tri-Weaves are finger-picked
on various-sized frame looms, incorporating some of the techniques I use
on the harness loom, such as the open leno-lace. Smaller frames (4 ft.)
give smaller scarves (see scarf pics below) or larger
frames (7 ft.) give Shawls/Throws. Similar to a giant potholder, this
technique allows a mix of shades, beads, ribbons, rovings, bulky textures
and various fibers,including some handspun wool from my sheep. |
Tri-Scarves: see below. Triangle weaving is a great project for DIY crafters. Since they are done on frames, no traditional loom nor experience is needed. Ask about workshops offered in this fun technique... (Learn
more about Tri-Weave. |
![]() TriWoven Throw, woven on a 7-ft. frame, it ends up as 6x5x5. This one incorporates many fibers, textures, loops and nubs, beads and ribbons. A great coverup for chilly evenings. $186 |

![]() Triangle Scarf, (available) Handspun wools w/wool/acrylic blends, ribbon & beads. 45" at top edge, made with varied textures, fibers and colors. Thick and wooly, this is a mix of yarns, beads, and woven pattern.. $78 |
Similar yarns as at left, this one is straight, 4 ft x 4 in. $ |

| Circle
& Flat Scarves:
Some call the circles "infinity" scarves; they seem to go on and on. Blends of natural fibers and textured novelties, these may also include beads, buttons, ribbons, fringes or trims. |
Circles
are approximately 6 ft. long, joined at end points to make a large circle
that can be looped 'round and 'round. Or unlace the end for
a standard, straight scarf. See wearable options in pink below. |

Circle or Infinity
Scarves
My circle scarves have removeable ties. Unlaced, wear them loose and straight, or wrapped 'round and 'round. |
