I love fiber art, beading, ribbonwork and embroidery, and I love to teach and share what I have learned over my life time of these pursuits. I began writing articles, in the hopes to reach more students. I encourage you to learn as much about the techniques, the people, and the history of the arts and crafts that interest you. We who come after are entrusted to be the keepers of these creative spirits, and are responsible for keeping the inspirational light on for those who come after us.
