Somehow we muddled through 2020 when I wrote my last blog post. As we reflect on that year we realize we ended up with Covid, probably picked up flying back from having done the ACC show in Baltimore. Lucky me! I got to sit next to a passenger from Brazil on that day (February 25th, 2020) who let me know he was “really, really sick”. This was before testing and yes we both came down with something. Richard had the lighter case…I’ve been dealing with some of that pesky long Covid stuff. But as mentioned above, we muddled along. We did a couple of local pop-up shows up in Jackson (Hole), WY. And ..read more

We have the best clients….and many have turned into friends! Several weeks ago we shipped out a cut and pieced wall hanging that was 3’x7’. It went to a couple in Sunriver, Oregon who found us at a show in Bend, Oregon several years ago. We received a package from them the other day. Inside were these notecards she made from close up photos she had taken of the handwoven fabrics that were incorporated into the hanging. A photo of the hanging can be seen on our page of pillows. Thank you to Margaret Ward ..read more

Pamela here. As you already know, my husband works with me on the weaving. But what you probably don’t know is that he is an amazing and extraordinary artist as well. Once he figures out the technique he can pretty much do anything. Anything. I will begin to include his work in these blog postings since he doesn’t have a website and isn’t on IG very much or FB (at all). These two pieces are Digital Vector Drawings. They are not photographs. The first one is a scene from an afternoon walk we took last winter. And the one with the airplane wing is from a flight we took coming back from an art sh ..read more

As you can see in the photo we have turned the corner with the weather. After a long and snowy winter (over ten feet of snow on our property this year) we can see the grass again and it is green! When we took this photo last week there was just the tiniest bit of snow left. It was totally melted on May 4th. Now let’s show you some of what we’ve been busy working on.

We will turn this blogspot into a place to showcase our newest work. It’s not everything we’ve been working on only because many of the pieces are already featured in the main part of the website under “Scarves”. But for anything out of the ordinary this is where you’ll find them. We love to make things and since the weather is just now cooperating (though there IS snow in our forecast within the next few days!) and we haven’t been able to work outside at length yet, well, we are still at our looms.

I almost titled this post New Work in the Time of Covid19 (NWITTOC19) but I thought it would be too depressing. Instead it is simply New Work! and the exclamation point is important. To me it signifies that I am moving on. Moving ahead. I fumbled around a bit for several weeks trying new techniques and new yarns but in looking back on that I probably would have been better off sticking to what I knew and loved weaving the most: Shadow Weave. The familiar is what I needed the most and that in turn allows me to weave in an almost Zen-like rhythm. So while I am working up to weaving in brighter c ..read more

Where does one begin? When one has lost the mo because one is assuming that all the summer shows will be a thing of the past. When one tries to feel encouraged about any ray of hope that maybe, just maybe, some of the shows one has applied to (but mostly has not gotten the results of the jury yet) might be able to proceed as “normal” (what IS the newest normal?). We are grateful to have the time to experiment with new techniques and fibers. We are grateful that so far all of the orders that have been placed are not cancelling. We are so grateful for the artist community we are a big part ..read more
