Metal

Metalwork brings another element to my designs. Lake Superior, a short journey north, is my greatest inspiration. I revel in the beauty of the lake as I comb her beaches - collecting rocks, beach glass, pottery shards, and driftwood upon each visit. When I began working with metal, it seemed fitting that I would begin to incorporate these found objects into my work.

At times, I have incorporated felt and wood into my designs, using repurposed items from local artisans, and wool from my fleece stash or local sheep farmers. Some of the wool that I use is dyed with nature’s colors while some is the natural color of the wool. These Metal + Wool pieces are the grand union of the materials that make up the name of my brand.
