I’m planning a mixed media painting experiment with this little weaving I made today. If it works out like I’m hoping this will be my donation for the Minnesota Symphonic Winds silent auction this year. 🎶

I’ve been working on these little cuties - they’re made from marbled paper I picked up at Art Scraps (gold), a hand printed monoprint (green) I made in the studio, silk paper I made from acrylic and silk fibers (cream), and they are hand embroidered and beaded. They don’t feel finished yet so I’m setting them aside for a little bit to let the final steps percolate.

This weaving is fresh off the loom today! For this piece I used a variety of wools (one of which I hand spun), sari silk, and cotton. Also, I adore these colors. What does it say to you?

These little watery gems are done and ready to adhere to their boards. I 💙how they’re turning out. These are the result of my childhood memories of time spent by a clear, cool lake, as well as my contemplation of our cultural connection to the outdoors and our many lakes here in Minnesota.

Here’s a little peek at today’s weaving progress. I’m loving these colors.

I spent a few hours getting my loom warped the other day and finally got some time for weaving today. I’m using a combination of cotton, wool, acrylic, bamboo, silk, and rayon yarns. I really love the way weaving brings me into a grounded space.

I’ve got another weaving in progress for use in a larger work. I’m excited about this new larger scale mixed media series I’ve started working on.
