Nature has been the single most influential factor in the development of my pottery artwork. I love creating artistic treasures which capture the fleeting beauty of Nature. My current favorite creations are my faerie homes/birdhouses, but I've created many other unique pieces over the years, including elaborate yarn bowls, exquisite rose candle cups, and earthy trinket plates, plus many more. I've assembled a small collection of pictures of some of my artwork over the years. Please click the button to browse through some of my current and past creations.

Sometimes when I find myself in a creative bind with my pottery, I explore other artistic interests. Still keeping Nature's influence in mind, I love creating unique jewelry designs which often incorporate a pendant that I made along with Nature's semi-precious gemstones, quality crystals, and the finest glass seed beads. I find it very relaxing to quietly stitch the tiny beads into attractive patterns.

Since one of our original farm animals was our pygora goats, which produce an incredible cashmere fleece, I became intrigued with working with their fiber and the fiber arts in general. Of course, now we've added our beautiful German angora rabbits and I love working with their fiber too. I also love working with a variety of wools such as leicesters, teeswater, wensleydale, merino, and even Lincoln. I love to spin a combination of fibers into highly textured, art-style yarns and work some of those yarns into artistic finished goods ranging from woven wall décor to knitted hats and scarves and crocheted designer handbags. And I'm always dreaming up new ideas to design into new artwork.

Well, as you can see, I'm a very busy little lady, and sometimes I just don't get all my fiber worked up into yarn or finished goods. So, I will have some fiber available for someone else to enjoy too. Sometimes I have soft, luxurious cashmere from my pygoras &/or the breathtaking clouds from my German angora rabbits. Occasionally, though I may also have some raw or washed wool where I purchased a fleece from another farmer and couldn't use the whole fleece by myself, so I'm sharing it! If you're a fiber artist too (or learning to become one). I hope you find some dreamy fiber to utilize in your own work!
