MY TABLE LOOM IS WARPED. I had a little help from friends to dress it, but I GET IT NOW! Wow that was a lot and it's only 2shaft 66 ends. Setup for these things is so much work that I feel like I have completed a whole project, even though I literally just started. #warping #weaving #FiberArt
Small 2 shaft table loom with the warp tied neatly onto the apron rod.

Caution bag 2022 Plastic Grocery bags woven on a 12"wide 2 shaft loom. #FiberArt #Weaving #reuse This is the piece that has driven me down a years long weaving wormhole. It was incredibly hard figuring out how to warp the loom at all and using delicate strips of plastic was doing it the hard way.
Bag made of woven plastic. Orange, grey, black and yellow in a plain weave structure.

Haystacks 2022 Plastic rug hooking and embroidery on monks cloth My favorite part of this one is how blended the yellow and green at the top of the hill look because I clipped the loops. #FiberArt #rughooking #recycle #reuse

If you have been considering using experimental textures or pushing your rug projects to include more salvaged and repurposed materials. I'm offering two workshops this year during rug hooking week that will spark your creativity. Plastic Playing Fiber & Bag to Rug saudervillage.org/classes-even...
A small hand hooked rug illustrating water flowing between rocks made of recycled plastic is propped up against a blue wooden figure drawing manikin.

If I was visiting London, Ontario as a rug hooker and fiber artist this August, where would you recommend I go? My trip to Rug Hooking Week this summer puts me a hop skip and jump from Ontario and I've never been.

Honey comb home 2022 Hand hooked rug, recycled plastic on monks cloth in a wooden hexagonal frame. I just love all of the available symbolism of bees, don't you? And there are so many kinds beyond our familiar honey bee friends. #FiberArt #rughooking #reuse #bees

What would you make with this icee colored plastic yarn? I have been spinning a lot lately and am making nice, stable 2-ply yarns on drop spindle and a Clemes & Clemes tower wheel. Now the question is what to make... #plarn #FiberArt #handspun #dropspindle #spinningwheel #carnival #reuse #yarn

Strawberry 
2023
Plastic cross stitch on plastic produce mesh framed in corrugated plastic.
The strawberry is pink with red shading, white seeds and green leaves. The background is mesh that makes the negative space around the strawberry transparent. The square frame where the mesh is stretched is white. The entire piece is sitting in a living potted strawberry plant as a backdrop that has healthy green leaves

Excited to be teaching at Rug Hooking Week this year with Sauder Village ❤️ I've got 2 classes scheduled to show students how to hook with waste plastic & registration is open ✨ saudervillage.org/classes-even... #FiberArt #rughooking
A posable green modeling figure holds up a small hand hooked design depicting a yellow flower with green leaves and stem on a brown background. The hooked area is framed by a border of canvas that has been painted yellow.

Thinking about technology. This is a photo from a tablet weaving workshop this past summer. Warps and cards were set up for us by Enrica McMillan at the Augusta Heritage Festival and she showed us the basics. Happy to say I know how to warp my own cards now. You get 4 lines of code then remix.
Pink, light green and dark green warp threads stretched onto a frame and threaded through holes at the 4 corners of a series of cards. Part of the warp threads have been woven into a narrow decorative band with a repeating pattern of dark green, light green and pink. A hand is twisting the cards partially towards the camera to show the shed in the warp and the threading of cards

Lovely words from Mary Oliver. She’s kept my mind at ease lately. Also, treated myself to a new bookmark from @bserway.bsky.social It’s the little things that bring me joy anymore.

Upstream 2022 Quilted plastic with bubble wrap as batting. Goldfish and stream details are plastic embroidery and 3 dimensional applique. Hand and machine stitching throughout. This was a fun one to make but it always feels a little sinister recreating images of waterways with plastic. #FiberArt

This remains my favorite abandoned billboard. It's somewhere between Charleston and Montgomery WV.
An abandoned billboard along the side of a road with an interesting composition of large jumbled blocky letters and numbers. Very reminiscent of a collage.

I am getting a little tired of the snow at this point. It's been like 2 weeks.
Handwritten sign on snow pile that reads "watch your STEP"Imposing icicles accumulated on the gutters of a brick building. it appears that many of them have broken off and fallen.

Since this is a fresh new account, here's the first rug I ever hooked in plastic. Started working in this medium in 2020 and haven't stopped.
