Spring Bunny 12 X 15


This is a very small thread painting on 100% cotton. I learned this method from Ellen Ann Eddy's class in thread painting several years ago. The bunny was thread painted separately and later attached to the background. Many colors of brown thread is used to make the fur on this woodland bunny.

Pink Plumeria 23 X 23


You can almost smell the pungent sweet smell of the native Hawaii flower. There are beads and sequins on 100% cotton.

There is a Snake in my Garden 12 X 19


This is a small colorful piece of garden fun to brighten a small area in your home. Kind of funky. But you will never find another like it.

Arctic Struggle 22 X 25


This is a somewhat controversial piece because it depicts the ongoing struggle in the frigid waters of the norther sea.
It is hand dyed cotton and the colors spread in just the right configuration to depict the sun on the ice flow and the blood spilled in the struggle and death of the seal.
