I teach adults at the John C Campbell Folk School, usually in April each year and I love teaching children like when I taught at an art camp during the summer for 15 years. I do a few Button Shows a year, as today my main work is making Studio Buttons for Button Collectors.

 Beadwork
I have become a bead freak! I really enjoy bead embroidery and sculptural peyote around objects, like a rock! I was totally inspired by Robin Atkins, who makes beautifully beaded pieces. I make some beaded jewelry, but in general, I make other type of items like wall pieces (some with wearable parts) and accessories like purse mirrors.

 Needle Felting
There are a few different felting techniques. Currently I have only been needle felting, but  hope to try the friction method in the future. I really like this technique - it's like painting with fiber.
Soon I will be dying my own "silk hankies" which are also used in felting. This goes along with the silk ribbon I dye for my ribbon and bead embroidery.
- Accessories - eye glass cases, pouches, purses and more
- Purse Mirrors that are small works of art for your coffee table or to carry in your purse
