"What drives my world is color
and texture--both fill me with joy and fuel my active imagination. I cannot
imagine a world without color or texture. Typical of my needle work you can see
both in my use of various fibers, from tightly spun sock yarn, to gold metallic
yarn and fuzzy mohair. I am also one of those magpie people whose eyes catch
every fleck of glitter on the sidewalk and always stop to examine the shiny
object, often putting in my pocket. When I walk my dog I am always filling my
pockets with odd bits and bobs of stones, plastic pieces, glass bits and metal
bits. Odd shapes interest me and I love to include them in my art work. I am
also fascinated by buttons and so included a couple of antique ones in my
scrumble. I love the old, worn out bits of the past, just holding them you can
feel their history. If those buttons could talk, what a story I am sure they
could tell. For me life is one continuing story, with many chapters--in the
same way when I scrumble I make fabric--not individual pieces, but a entire
piece of cloth that is worked from many different directions with various
textures and color."
