"The predominately black scarf was inspired by a piece of commercial fabric I used for the lining of a handwoven jacket. From this first scarf came a series of five more, each woven with one of the colors present in the warp."

The doll took several months to complete, as more and more details were added. The basket holds several colors of cotton bolls, and a drop spinndle. The scissors are from a Convergence, the cup in her hand and the needle are from a Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival, the earrings from a trip to Barbados and the book from a weaving friend. She even had a story written about her in a writing workshop.
