WAAC Exhibit and Sale

For those of you who will be in the Madison area, the Wisconsin Alliance of Arts and Craftspeople will be having an exhibit and sale at the UW Hospital during the month of February, 2014. I am proud to announce that two of my works will be on exhibit and available for purchase. Part of the proceeds from the sale go to the hospital art fund, which is used to purchase art for the hospital’s permanent collection. The public is welcome to attend and purchase artwork from a wide range of talented Wisconsin artists and craftspeople.  The artwork will be exhibited primarily in the surgical waiting room.

Happy New Year, 2014

Happy New Year to all of you! We’re looking forward to posting our schedule for 2014 as soon as we receive confirmation for upcoming shows. Have a good start to the new year!

 

New yarns and tassels

This year I’m adding a new collection of origami cranes that incorporate beautiful yarns and tassels. All of the tassels are hand made. They look lovely hanging near a window, suspended from a car’s rear view mirror, or in any spot in your home or office that could use a bit of color and movement.

Some new photos

Hi Everyone,

I’ve added some photos of my new work.  At left and below are two mobiles that incorporate wire and beads into the designs. 

For those of you who love music, I’ve made some chains of origami cranes (ranging from 3 to 7 cranes of varying size) using paper with a classical music motif.  The end of this chain is decorated with a treble clef made of wire and beads.

 

 

Another example of one of my single cranes made from beautiful cloth-like paper.  Each of my models comes with a coordinating tag and a hand-crafted wire hook for hanging.

One of my favorite things to make is long chains (as many as 20) of miniature peace cranes.  The tiny cranes are delightful to the eye, but difficult to photograph.  Here’s an example of a long chain lying on a mat.  They’re prettier when they’re hanging!

Below are a couple more images of some of my recent work:

I’ve also added new photos to the photo gallery.  Click on the tabs at the top of the page to see the photo gallery.  Thank you!
