Love Is a Rainbow of Chaos


11"x 60" silk inspired by the FDL Visual Artist group exhibit for the play 'RENT'.  The title is written on the whole silk with the lettering creating the visual spaces for the rainbow of colors.  This is a very vivid silk scarf.  Sold

Big Butterfly

35" x 35" Quillian butterfly.  Abstract green/blue background, writing on the border, a nice touch of color to add to your wall.  Traded to a special lady.

Fire-breathing Dragons II


This is the second in the series of fire-breathing dragons.  The top photo shows the true colors, the detail pic is washed out.  Sorry!  I just love doing lots of details on my silks and the resists allow that plus I love to do lots of color blending and mixing.  No color is straight from the bottle.  That makes the silk richer.  The other silk in this series is sold as is this one.

Flowers in the Dark


July, 2012 11"x"60" fun silk.  Late one evening I started doodling and drew some basic flowers.  Then I decided that I wanted to have a dark background.  The contrast is very nice.  Sold

Georgia O'Keeffe Quotes



This is a 35" x 35" silk that was inspired by an assignment by our FdL Visual Artist Group for the Georgia O'Keeffe themed art show in July, 2012.  Written across the whole scarf are many quotes by Georgia. I wanted to have flowing colors and quotes from Georgia.  She was a unique person with her own philosophy and chose to do her art 'her' way. Sold.  I do have a calligraphy piece full of Georgia O'Keeffe quotes, though.

Fascination with Ocean Critters

In my living room for about seven years, I have hung a trio of ocean silks.  They each feature sea dragons or sea horses.  At about the same time I met my first 'real' sea dragons; and have had a fascination with Weedy and Leafy Sea Dragons every since.  Since then I have acquired several sea dragon videos, and have seen the real critters in Chicago and Philadelphia.  Several of my calendars and Christmas cards have featured these critters, too.  Soldlll!
