Sunny Studio Morning

Navajo Weaving, Pots, Basket, Weaving and Carving from Mexico



Welcome to my studio! 
(Which also happens to be the living room in the house that I currently share with 3 other family members. I've never had a dedicated space for weaving; it happens in various rooms of the house depending on who is here using what room for what purpose.)  On a sunny day, this room is full of light beaming in through the floor to ceiling windows of which 1 1/2 walls are comprised.
It makes my heart sing!
The walls that aren't made of glass are covered with inspiration. I invite you to come in and have a look around.

These ladies are here to remind me that I share an ancient tradition with weavers in many cultures, in many times.



With gratitude to all the artists who have contributed to my treasured artifact collection. And to all forces that combined have given and nurtured my weaving talent and this space in which to practice my craft!

  1. Beautiful, Annie. You are going to be right at home in that New Mexico house! Weaving appears to be less messy than jewelry fabrication, but it could just be me. :-) Your space is warm and colorful--and relaxing I trust.

  8. Thanks to everyone for stopping by and visiting my studio! I do love my handmade stuff! The sash on the loom seems to have a widespread appeal and I appreciate all of your lovely comments. I'll have to remember that color combination for the future.
