SEASONS OF A LIFE is completed and thankyou to the Dufferin County Museum for giving me the opportunity to show my work in 2016. The kimonos were well received and since the show ended some of them have gone on to be juried into shows in both Canada and the United States.
This was an incredible project for me and a wonderful way to celebrate the 70 years of my being on this remarkable planet. Thankyou to everyone who came out to celebrate with me. |
Thanks to the Dufferin County Museum & Archives; Dufferin Arts Council and the Ontario Arts Council for their support of this project.

THE WEAVING HAS NOW BEGUN. While it seems quite simple and it should have been, the silk gave me a great deal of trouble and having discussed it with the supplier we came to the conclusion that because the sett is very close the silk tends to stick and therefore winding one thread at a time was the problem. Normally I wind 4 threads as one, lesson learned. I could only advance the warp onto the back beam 4 inches at a time, and when you have 28 yards to wind. Normally I would have cut off and rewound but silk is expensive and the budget just would not allow for that. It taught me to be very patient and to heed that small voice that constantly speaks to me when I try something new.
