My sister and I traveled to Mentor, Ohio to join the Wildwood Basket Guild at their Winter Weave. We enjoyed seeing ladies we had met last year and meeting new weavers this year. A commonality of weaving from paper, fiber, cordage and reed. It’s always fun to learn new things. Always learning. Here is the “Peripheral” piece with watercolor paper and copper overlay and the “Hiker” Adirondack Pack Basket. Both instructors were fabulous and patience with everyone. We hope to return next year.

Started out kinda rough with a cold that would not leave me/us for a few weeks, but you manage.

Our little basket group was disrupted for a bit, hanging on. Still making baskets for the babies.

I’ve got an order for the cornhusk mat going to N Y C in April! Kind of excited! More soon!

Did a small vendor day the other week, but the weather has been here and there and sometimes takes a toll on my body. Making some days harder than others.

I’ve been enjoying my cornhusk dolls again. I had a few days in the sun for a brief photo shoot. I have another art project on the side also.

So all told, still busy as ever! I’d love to share with you that one of my students has made a beautiful woven purse. I am so proud of her! I too was doing something similar, I’m not the competitive type. We all have our own style of beading and basket making and are pretty distinct. I’m so glad she is moving forward with the art.

I’m going to be part of the Routes To Art here in the month of May. Utilizing the new building, Onohsa:gwe:de Cultural Center; Seneca Iroquois National Museum as a hub for a few area artists. So, I’m getting things under way for that show as well. Things to come!

So for now, sharing my dolls in the sun! Enjoy!

Make art every day.
