Rain Sash
My art career began with a curiosity about weaving.  With time and experimentation,
I found a process for belt weaving.  This sash is woven from cotton and is a challenging piece
to weave. It is a plain and balanced weave which demands focus and concentration
because any error will show.  This type of sash has many uses in Hopi ceremonies.

Silver embellished pouch
My weavings often explore the ways that traditional textiles can be adapted
and enhanced through integration with other art forms.  The rain sash cloth
and fringing used technique used above is merged here with silverwork in a
way that I hope extends both art forms.

Navajo Manta
The manta is a textile made for wearing as a shoulder covering and they are very seldom
woven today.  I finished this piece in the center, just as  these garments were woven
in the past. This manta is 33.5″x30″ and is woven of Navajo Churro wool acid-dyed by hand.
It is available for sale and the price is available upon request.
MM Peruvian belt

Peruvian Belt
The weavers of Peru have produced intricate patterns using simple looms
for over 2000 years. This 125″x4.5″ belt is executed in a technique called
pebble weave which produces a complex pattern as yarns are picked up
to create each row of the design. The yarns were dyed with madder root and
indigo.  The belt is in a private collection.

Ravenstail Weaving
Ravenstail weaving predates Chilkat and Tlingit technqiues among the people of what
is now British Columbia and existed only in museums until it was revived by Cheryl
Samuels in the 1980′s.  In my Ravenstail piece, I used cotton background yarns and
the patterning is done in black and yellow wool.  This is piece is in the Joe Ben Wheat
Collection at the University of Colorado.
