Wild Woman says ‘I am enough’. She knows that no matter what she accomplishes next, she is already enough. The words from my journal that inspired this piece include “Rocking her grey hair” and “I’m just getting started”. You may notice her hair is grey, hooked with some of my hand spun yarns. She is…

In this piece I was journaling about the feelings of joy, about moments of joy bursting out of my heart. I used a piece of wet felted fabric combined with rug hooking, along with felted ‘buttons’ which are embroidered on. Mixed media on linen using hand-spun, commercial and recycled yarns and fabrics.
