Woven Tapestries

My weavings are created on an upright tapestry loom, which I designed to incorporate European and Navajo traditions. Although I hand-spin and dye much of my wool, I also like to experiment with unique commercial yarns. The warp is generally linen, spaced at eight threads per inch.
