Beach Day 1

Beach Days 1 shows the view from the Miami Beach boardwalk through the dunes, to the surf and its waves; then upward into the inky, indigo blue sky, with puffy white clouds.

Beach Day 3
Beach Day 3 is part of a series of small, fine art tapestries I wove by hand to capture impressions of Miami Beach at various times of day. Beach Day 3 depicts evening, twilight, when the sky and sea reflect the setting sun in magnificent hues of violet and cerulean.
Inspired by the nearby sea, this exquisite tapestry depicts sand, surf, seaweed, clouds and sky through creative use of textural elements and colors.
Beach Day 3 measures 8" wide by 11" high. Value priced at only $175.00 and is ready to hang. Its diminuitive size makes it ideal for those small blank spaces in your home or office.

Beach Day 4
Beach Day 4 in my series of fine art seascapes. Everyday the Ocean presents us with a new view of her magnificense. I captured here my impression of shifting sand, all manner of seaweeds, sponges, black coral, fan coral collecting along the tideline, while the waves rock and roll, against a magnificent dusky violet sky.
I wove this beauty on a small hand loom using an assortment of fibers: angora wool for the sand, spun cow hair in the tideline, mixed textural fibers for the sea and sky, topped off by a velvety violet cloud of unspun wool roving.
Beach Day 4 measures 9"wide by 10" high and is ready to hang. Display her with Beach Day 3 and Beach Day 5 for a stunning triptych.
Beach Day 4 is priced at $185.00. Free first class shipping in continental USA.

Beach Day 5
Beach Day 5 as the sun is setting behind us we see the sand, the collection of marine life in the tideline, a blue, blue sea, violet sky edged with clouds of white, blue and violet. A perfect ending to a tropical day.
Beach Day 5 is woven on a loom. I used soft angora yarns for the sand, mixed wools and cow hair for the tideline, mixed fivers for the waves and sky, embellished with white and dyed wool roving (unspun wool fibers). A tactile and visual delight, Beach Day 5 is the perfect compainion tapestry to Beach Day 3 and Beach Day 4. Get all three and make a statement. You know you love the beach!
Beach Day 5 measures 8" wide by 10" high.

Beach Garden Day 6
Beach Garden (Day 6 at the Beach) was inspired by Moami Beach Botanical Garden. Full of lush, profusions of tropical flowers and foliage, Beach Garden emulates the colors and textures in an abstract tapestry. I used a combination of whimsical and traditional yarns to create this luscious effect. Ready to hang in your home! Every day is a Beach Day!

Blue Moon Green Cheese
Blue Moon Green Cheese, 34" x 14" wall panel woven by hand on a complex loom. This art work is 1 of 4 in my series of Moon Tapestries. It is my interpretation of a complex weaving pattern for an 8 shaft floor loom, which I reinterpreted to make it my own unique design.
The title, Blue Moon Green Cheese is a nod to an old myth I recall from childhood, s "The moon is made of Green Cheese." Why they ever said that, who knows? It inspired me to weave this superb wall hanging.
The panel measures 34" long by 14" wide. The left side has a black background (the warp
yarns); the right side has oatmeal colored warp. The two contrasting colors, black and oatmeal, were threaded (strung) onto the loom before weaving. Threading the loom takes an exorbitant amount of time and concentration. Each individual strand of yarn has to be threaded in an exact, precise sequence to create the moon patterns.
The weaving begins after the loom is set up and all the yarns are in place (about 450), following an exact sequence to create the pattern which, remember, I manipulated to elevate a traditional weave structure into a work of contemporary art, made entirely of yarn. I wove the moon pattern into the black and oatmeal warp using a bright blue yarn alternating with a grey-green yarn, in alternating bands.
Tricky. Complicated. Labor intensive. Immense patience required.
How long did it take me? 30 years of weaving experience + a lifetime of textile work + 8 weeks of design time + 8 weeks in process on the loom + 2 weeks after weaving to finish off loom (tie up loose ends, fringe, hems, press, mounting brackets, photograph, etc.).

Moon Rise Moon Set
Moon Rise Moon Set, 32" x 14" wall panel woven by hand on a complex loom. This art work is part of my series of Moon Tapestries. It is my interpretation of a complex weaving pattern for an 8 shaft floor loom, which I reinterpreted to make it my own unique design. Like a painting, but woven. By hand. On a large loom.
The title, Moon Rise Moon Set highlights the color and size transitions we witness as the Moon makes her way across our sky. The panel measures 32" long by 14" wide. The left side has a black background (the warp yarns); the right side has oatmeal colored warp. The two contrasting colors, black and oatmeal, were threaded (strung) onto the loom before weaving.
Threading the loom takes an exorbitant amount of time and concentration. Each individual strand of yarn has to be threaded in an exact, precise sequence to create the moon patterns.
The weaving begins next, after all the yarns are in place and wrapped tightly onto the back of the loom. I weave following an exact sequence to create the pattern, the size, shape, colors of the moons which, remember, I changed the instructions. I elevate a traditional weave structure into a work of contemporary art, made entirely of yarn. I wove the moon pattern into the black
and oatmeal warp using a progression of colors from subdued to vibrant in hues of yellows, oranges and red.
Tricky. Complicated. Labor intensive. Immense patience required.

Of course, art work cannot be valued by merely the time and materials. Creativity requires skill, technical expertise, imagination, design ability, and experience.

Two Red Mesas
Two Red Mesas fine art fiber art tapestry was created dunign the c-19 lockdown. I traveled back in time, vicariously, to when I lived in New Mexico, thanks to the donation of a stack of Southwest Magazines. They were my inspiration. I let my creativity take over - that is how I roll. I get the idea, begin the process, then the piece indicates how it is to be made. See work in process image
I used a selection of textured yarns from my stash in desert colors and let this artwork come to life.
Two Red Mesas is a horizntal, landscape view, 10" wide by 9" long
$350.00 ready to hang on your wall in so you are always on vacation!
Red and Violet Mesas
Red and Violet Mesas is a fine art fiber art tapestry I created during C-19 lockdown. Working from my memories of the Southwest and images in magazines, I let my creativity run wild adding vibrant colors and textures to a desert landscape. What else can you see in this tapestry?
I wove Red and Violet Mesas on a tapestry style loom I made for this piece. Tapestry is a lot of finger manipulation of yarns to get the color gradations just right. This is something I enjoy.
Be on vacation year 'round when you hang Red and Violet Mesas on your wall.
