Fiber

I have always loved working with natural unprocessed materials. weaving with natural fiber

The image to the right is a detail of the piece "Death is But a dream" made from muscadine grapevines form my yard, and goose eggs from my geese as well as their feathers, among other materials.

he pine needle basket to the far right was made as part of a traditional pine basket weaving workhop led by Priscilla Gebauer at the Hammond Regional Art Center. It is fabricated from pine needles, raffia and grape vines.The grape vines are from my muscadine plants that survived Hurricane Katrina.
