Handwoven rayon chenille scarves (9"x70")

My primary line of work is in rayon chenille-scarves and shawls to drape around your body, fleece and silk lined hats to keep you warm and blankets for comfort. I love the feeling of wrapping myself in the exquisite texture of a handwoven throw or scarf and feel that beauty is not just to look at, but also to really live in.

I now offer a line of lighter weight tencel scarves and shawls whose colors move and dance with the light. My initial training is in optics—creating dichroic films on glass to be used in microscopes and telescopes. I am excited that this line of work has captured the feeling of the changing light that I loved so much in glass.

There is a deeply spiritual component to my weaving. I especially enjoy creating pieces to mark significant events and healings in peoples lives-whether it be a wedding blanket, created from ribbons that have written blessings on them, healing blankets, a tallis for a bar or bat mitzvahs, a wedding canopy or a special baby blanket.
