I have been wanting to experiment with more dimensional shaping in my earrings/wire work.
I tend to not sketch and prefer to work freeform. This is the first image to document a presently “unknown” work in progress.
This is the end piece in a series. Fiber content: 2 strands of 3,000 yards per pound chenille and an ultra thin ribbon of tencel, tactel. Garment may be worn either side out. It’s ruffled edge was joined
onto the sweater body as it was knit.

About Me
I construct my wearables using a variety of on and off the loom techniques to produce one of a kind and limited edition items. Spontaneity and a sense of humor are essential to my process.
Many pieces are reversible and can be worn different ways. The geometric construction, 3D shaping, surface patterns, decoration and joining are most often 'in the knit' rather than secondary operations.
Throughout the process I am intimately involved and engaged: creating and choosing techniques, incorporating surface embellishment. I'm frequently seduced by the endless possibilities of knitting, and the complexities of the resulting structures.
In my years of teaching I have shared the body of knowledge acquired through each of these explorations.
