What's Been Going On in the Dye Kitchen

About a year ago I recklessly purchased about 150 pounds of rug wool from a lovely mother/daughter team that I found on Craig's List.  The price was very good, but 150 lbs of rug wool will make a pile as big as your couch, which was more than I anticipated.  Over the last year I have been making things with the rug wool....things like the braided rug wool baskets, wool coasters, and recycled wool bags, mats and pillows.  And I have also been continuously running some of the rug wool through the dye pots in order to give myself beautiful colors to work with.  Here is some photographic eye candy to show you some of the results.  These photos were taken by my talented assistant and niece, Martha Mai.  She has recently come to help me in the studio, and has been an inspiration.  More on that later......

    About Martha


    The Threads of Meaning is a collection of my hand made creations and the materials I use to make them.  I quilt, sew, spin, knit, crochet, weave, make dolls, rugs (hooked and braided) and tat. I have had articles in Art and Antiques (May 2001) and American Quilter (Ultimate Projects 2004). I have sold work to the State of Hawaii and some very dedicated private collectors. I dye my own fibers and use vintage and new materials. I tend to prefer traditional techniques and natural materials used in innovative ways.
