May was a wild month full of pain and grief, but also joy and love. It’s a new month and I’m ready to make something (anything) with my hands.

What are you making?

Botanically Bundle Dyed Trail Blaze with flower dyed cotton. Today on my walk I saw baby goslings, fresh tree buds, a couple of hawks and so, so much green. On yesterday’s walk, I saw a couple of turtles sunnjng themselves, some groundhogs, and lots of chatty red-winged blackbirds. I love this time of year.

Thanks to for the photo.

I’m here at the American Made Craft show in Baltimore this weekend! Lots of new cyanotypes, naturally dyed quilted wall hangings and some botanically toned/dyed cyanotype mash-ups as well. I’ve met so many nice and cool new people and love hearing about so many peoples’ connections to Pittsburgh! Today, 10-6 pm and Sunday, 11-5 PM. There are 400+ artists here and a huge showing of Pittsburgh friends. Looking forward to meeting more new art/ craft enthusiasts over the next couple of days and hoping to have a chance to really walk around and check out the incredible work here. Booth #1018

Laid out some of my naturally dyed fabrics with surface designs to pair up with some full color and cyanotype panels and liked the little flat lay. When I feel stuck, sometimes I do things like this to move the needle a bit. I haven’t posted anything this year, but I have been making and experimenting a lot as this helps my heart and my brain when things feel like a lot. I’ve been working on making new collections for the American Made Craft show in Baltimore (Feb 20-22) and Modern Craft Market (March 27-29.) I’ve also been teaching workshops at my studio, , and an Intro to Natural Dyes Series at . Plus, working on some botanically toned cyanotypes, naturally dyed baskets, ice dyed fabrics, snow dyeing and some teeny tiny weavings. Hope you are doing something that keeps your heart full or helps you find a rhythm through the noise. 💛
