Meet the Maker
I have always enjoyed color and creating art. I started with drawing and painting, cake decorating and flower arranging. After working in these mediums, I discovered fiber and weaving, about 30 years ago. My first and favorite loom is an antique barn loom that I acquired from friends. It is a handmade loom that weaves wonderful fabric. This loom dates back to the late 1800s. One loom is never enough! Now, I also have three 4 harness looms, a Lillstina, Gallinger and a Sabina floor loom. Then I added two small rigid heddle looms which I use to sample and weave scarves. Just recently, my husband made a triangle loom. I love the scarves that can be made on this loom.
I truly love the fact that my rugs and totes are made from linens and clothing that are headed to the landfill. These fabrics are washed then cut into strips and either sewn or interlocked to create the weft for my rugs. This process makes each rug unique.
My scarves are woven with quality fibers and fabric. My favorite style of scarf weaving is the Saori, which is a freeform weaving. These a wonderful way to achieve beautiful color combinations.
Since my work is not mass-produced, I attract people who understand and appreciate the value of handcrafted fabric.
How it’s Made
This wrap/scarf was handwoven on my Sabina floor loom in my home. The warp threads are measured and then threaded through the reed and then the heddles, thread by thread. Once that is completed it is tied to the cloth apron. Finally it is time to weave! The weft is wound onto shuttles and passed between the warps threads to create this wonderful piece.
