I am honored that Tommye Scanlin has curated an online exhibit of my work on the American Tapestry Alliance website. Take a look! 

This is a book I designed and constructed in 2013, but never showed it anywhere. It's the life-span from the planting to the eating of sun-ripened tomatoes. Sooooo good. The dimensions are 5.5" x 8.25" x 2.5" high. Those green monsters are horn worms, enemies of the tomato gardener. The base of the "book" is a photocopy of an actual branch of one of my plants.

I wanted a long, tall book and in it, the intended theme was "flowers," but flowers that mostly turned out to be somewhat anthropormorphized. It's 9.75" high X 3/5" wide X .875" thick with 22 illustrated pages.

​I found it to be a lot of fun. I like to make myself laugh.

This image at the bottom is a fold-out and I drew it side-ways to the regular orientation of the book. 

Since my husband has Parkinsons and the dementia that goes with it, I have been making a lot of books and images that speak to it. My daughter gave me a Brooklyn Sketchbook Project sketchbook for Christmas. There were about 25 or 30 pages in the book, but I dismantled the book and remade it into a concertina with weavings depicting the gradual loss of cognition. It's a lot like another book I made.
