"B" in the Illuminated Alphabet Series


"A" First in the Series of an Illuminated Alphabet

This is the first letter in an Illuminated Alphabet I'm working on. And will probably never finish.

I Love Gardening!


Yes, yes...things aren't in proportion in this picture. I don't do proportion very well. Focus on the...uh...violets.

Gramma's Sewing Jar




















Another image created for a specific application.

Dancing Angel


Typical of my favorite technique. This didn't start out as a dancing angel. After the design took shape, it just resembled an angel. I am not particularly happy with the purple part of the ribbonwork, so maybe I'll do the whole design up again without it. Someday.

Celtic Cross

This is the very first intricate image I did after learning knotwork. Correct knotwork ALWAYS has no beginning and no end. There are errors in this, but they don't show too much unless you look close. Whatever posessed me to try such a complicated thing, I'll never know. It did teach me a thing or two about knotwork, though!

Country Watering Can

This piece was created at our campgrounds in King's Canyon. It was an experiment in just how busy I could get a potting shed!
