Current Inventory 4 Sale

I sell my work.  It is unique treasure to bring a bright spot to people's lives. 

I wasn't born yesterday or even the last 18,250 days.  Don't bother doing the math, silly.  My point is that though I may not be a spring chicken anymore, I am keeping a little current on some technology.  One is a way that will help you purchase some of my ever-so-kewl art ever-so-easy by hand-picking in Skype-person.  If you want to purchase my ever-so-soft hand painted bamboo Bobbie Socks to bring color to your world, email me and we'll arrange a Skype shopping trip.  Don't forget to ask me about my other current work, which could be jewelry, handdyed silk scarves, and my latest endeavors. 

I have three ways for you to pay or you may even have a more techie way, so shop at The Master's Hand soon.

Can you believe it?  We're living the unbelievable Sci-fi we used to watch and read in our youth.  Amazing.

Bobbie Socks

My most popular item is Bobbie Socks.  They are fabulous.  They are handdyed.  They work for every season.  They are unique but my return clienteles buy them for comfort, winter warmth, and softness.  You can look conservative on the outside while being colorful under the surface.  Love'em!


Bamboo Socks

 They are soft, soft, soft!

 • Rumor has it that bamboo rayon fibers are both highly absorbent and possibly bacteria resistant.

 • Bamboo is a very renewable resource that grows fast without chemicals and pesticides.

  • 94% pure Bamboo, 6% Spandex for  s-t-r-e-t-c-h.  Bamboo is developed in the same way as Rayon.

Art Cloth

I love to dye fabric, especially silks.  More than dyeing, printing is great, especially deconstructed printed.  This type of printing will be more I'll be playing with.


















Journal Quilts

I joined people across the world in making Journal Quilts for a few years.  Journal Quilts are 8.5" x 11" with the goal of making one a month (at least 9) and experimenting in techniques.  One of mine was published in Creative Quilting: The Journal Quilt Project with Karey Bresenhan.  You will see Beading in PV, MX on page 206.

Art Quilts

Window

My taste changes continually but here's a history of my art quilts.  Most contain my handdyed fabric, including cheesecloth, velvet, mercerized cotton, and silks.  Some also include my hand printed fabrics.
