TEXTILE SCULPTURE
Sculptured Wall Art

|
This is a piece that took me from the loom into basketry.
I love working with raw reeds while reaching a flow by combining natural materials with man-made fibre.
material: Swamp reeds and plastic "danger tape" woven in basketry technique.

Talons and Bones
For years I have been fascinated with the skulls, bones, and items
I have found in my deep woods walks. This is a small offering
to those fallen in the cycle of life.
