Credit Cards And CD’s

Remember when only a few short years ago everyday there was a new credit card offer in your mail box? Remember when it took a pile of CD’s and hours to install software on your computer?

I started a list of ways to reuse these bits of plastic from scraping the ice off the car window to using them as dividers in my bead drawers. As an artist, I also always see the possibility that I might use those cards or CD’s in an art project. They are just too colorful and shiny to toss away.

The Red Tassel

The Red Tassel I have always been fascinated by quilting but just never had the patience for precisely fitting all those perfect little squares together. Then I discovered improvisational quilting. It’s like jazz, you compose as you go. I enjoy randomly stitching bits and pieces together then cutting them apart and stitching again, adding layers, and cutting apart . . . The Red Tassel was my first improvisational piece.
