My First Note

(continued from Home Page…)

Now that Pivotol has laid the foundation for this website, I will be adding photos and descriptions of many more examples of my creativity. My goal is to share a significant amount of my designs, in many mediums, in order to represent the entire body of my work. This will take some time, as I continue to create more designs in my riverside studio. (Not to mention that, now age 78, I am a little slower at learning new programs.)

I hope you will return occasionally to see what has been added on these pages. There will be knitwear, embroidery, quilting, needlepoint on silk gauze (at least 1,024 stitches per square inch,) as well as on canvas and linen. Of course, all are my own original designs. Beadwork is my current passion. Over the past years I have concentrated on presenting the written word through bead weaving. Hence the name, “Beads that Speak.”

I want to thank Ben, Emily, Danny and the entire pivotol.com team for their excellent listening, writing, photography and web designing skills. I’m also very grateful for the help of Sophie Kastelic, who is helping me learn to do all the upcoming additions to the website. And, of course, I thank my husband, Tom, for his constant and encouraging support.

      Thanks for visiting. Come back soon.

NOTE: Much of the writing on this website is the result of the Pivotol team’s interviews.. Their words are on the peach-colored and the dark gray backgrounds. My own notes and information are on this turquoise background.
