​                My Latest Creations
With my travels in Feb and March I haven't been weaving very much lately. However this "Creature from the Deep" joined my pine needle (and gourd) creations this winter. 
This wall hanging is made from palm inflorescence.  The detail shows a little bit more of the texture. 

​This basket makes me think of a boat.

​
​This basket is a collaboration with a ceramic artist whose studio is next to mine. He made the base and the top is pine needles with philodendron sheath  "flowers". Titled: Emergence
