OH MY!

2010-03-23T10:39:00.000-07:00

I have really let my blogging go. Have I really not posted since 2007. That is really terrible. Hmmm.....To catch up........I was published in a book, My frame shop/gallery is still open, I started to send out postcards with my prints on them once a month, I am now a partner in a t-shirt business, And I just recently sent off hats that I hand spun the yarn and knitted that were in the gift bags at the oscars.

WE WON!

Wow! I can't believe it. I thought for sure the octupuss was going to win. I would like to thank Larissa from theknitmonster.com for her help with the creature. Without her kniting knowledge,pattern writing know how, special knit tips,and overall coaching the creature would not have made it into existence. She is the "knit goddess".

HAPPY SPINNING!

Hi Everyone! I am very new to blogging so please bare with me. I went to school for fine art printmaking and children book illustration. I have a tendency to dabble in all different forms of art and crafts. My latest endeavor is spinning. I love using all the different art mediums to create art yarns. I live in Kodiak, Alaska. It is an island off the coast of Alaska.Here is a small sample of some of the yarn I am working on.
