Introducing: Royal Wraps!
These beautiful wool and cashmere scarves are made of 100% reused materials - without looking the part! Each unique piece mixes colors and textures for a sumptuous look and luxurious feel. They are more than warm and fuzzy - they're good looking, and you will be too when you wear them. When folded in half and looped around the neck they each have a distinctly Elizabethan air. Royal Wraps for sale at my Etsy store.

I'm so happy to launch this incredible new website designed and built by Gina Kamentsky of Pixeltoon Web Design and Animation. It's been a long time coming and I thought the introduction of a new line of bags was the perfect opportunity to combine the two projects. My new ‘colorform’ bags, named after the favorite toy of my childhood, are all about form, color, and function. I realized long ago that I spend as much concentrated energy designing my bag forms as I do the painted motifs but they then get overshadowed by all that beautiful pattern. Not that that's a bad thing, but I did want to give shape and the beauty of construction it's day in the sun. That day has come and I hope you enjoy exploring them and this great new site, or you can see them in person at two upcoming events.
Coolidge Corner Arts Festival
On Saturday June 7th I will be exhibiting at the 30th annual Coolidge Corner Arts Festival in Brookline MA. This free public showcase for the arts will feature more than fifty nationally recognized artists as well as accomplished and emerging artists from New England working in an array of media, from jewelry, fiber, glass, ceramics to photography, watercolor and mixed media.

South Shore Arts Festival
A few weeks later on June 13th-15th I will be showing with eighty other crafts people at the South Shore Arts Festival on the beautiful, lush green in Cohasset Mass. www.ssac.org/wdnew/festival.htm You can buy art, hear live music and enjoy the best strawberry shortcake and lobster rolls around (provided by the churches that surround the green.) It's a classic New England day out!
Of course, if you can't make it you can always purchase anything you want right here on-line!
