Here are just a few of the projects that
I have created over the years.
Spindle-Spun Silk
After taking a dyeing class with Linda Whiting (Pine Star Studios), I dyed a bombyx silk brick. Using only the three primary colors, we combined them in the proper ratios to create the secondary and tertiary colors. Then I spun and plied each color on spindles.
