The backgrounds in the wallhangings and cushions are painted and look very much like watercolors. I use colorfast painting dyes on cotton fabric. The grasses and flowers are a combination of traditional embroidery, free motion machine work, and ribbon embroidery. Because I design the work as I go along, each piece is truly different. The way the colors work together and the texture of the materials influence the final piece. From the beginning wearable art has been a signature craft for me. One of a kind vests and bags made from vibrant velvets and embellished with free motion and ribbon embroidery are ever popular. Within the last few years Ive added the exciting Splendid Cat doorstops to my product line.
