For more than 30 years the technique of tapestry has been my main interest, both as wall pieces and used as rugs. It is like magic to weave parallel rows of yarn and make the viewer see curves and shapes. In tapestry, different color weft threads are used in adjacent areas of the piece allowing the weaver to make a picture or shape in the cloth. These fiber pieces are woven using traditional materials, linen warp and wool weft. These materials have been time-tested for strength and longevity.
