The inspiration for all of my work comes from 19th c. examples, designs and motifs and are original adaptations of period styles. Figurative work (dolls, bears, Santas) are created from cloth and clay with vintage materials used as appropriate and available. My applique work and penny rugs are made of felted wool, which is often overdyed to get the colors I want and are stitched by hand. Each one is an original.
