THE BIG SKY

With a lot of influence from one of my new favorite textile designers, Maryanne Moodie, and the support of my fiber-loving friends, I've recently dived into weaving. Its such a fun way to experiment with texture and color. Plus it let's me use all those amazing yarns I've hoarded over the years. This is only my second piece and it was done on a makeshift cardboard loom as opposed to the wooden lap loom my boyfriend made for me. Working this small, appox. 5" x 7", allows for an easy travel craft. I can bring it with me wherever I might anticipate a break to work on it. 

I love the idea of choosing a color palette with some significance behind it. One of my absolute favorite photographs pretty much ever was actually taken by my uncle during a thunderstorm in Texas this past spring. It has these striking shades of pink across black and purple storm clouds. I couldn't help but use it for inspiration. 

SUMMER ADVENTURES

I find myself only sharing here seasonally, which is actually how I've always divided my life. Even the folders on my desktop are arranged by season and year. The undergrad work I did was the same. All in all: sorry, not sorry for the long absence.

Summer roadtrip adventures down the Pacific coast, into the desert and to the gulf coast of Texas for an epic wedding and friend reunion. I only wish we'd had an extra week to take things a little slower. I did solidify that the colors of the desert are some of my favorite and the light in the Pacific Northwest can't be matched by anywhere else in the US.
