Margery describes her process:  "Color, pattern and texture--and their interplay--intrigue me. I weave slowly, savoring every part of the process. This includes spinning the yarns myself, and adding "eccentric threads" and other surprises to each piece to make a special textile that is a little bit quirky and one of a kind. My favorite materials are silk, wool and luxury fibers."

Find scarves, notecards and really cool buttons in her shop!

Wai-Yuk Kennedy is a UK artist who is inspired by layers of texture coupled with shape and form:

"Making my textiles is a search for fresh and surprising 3D forms that can be made from pieces of fabric. I draw inspiration from a number of sources, including the Cornish landscape, Chinese mythology or the flows and rhythms of Chinese calligraphy."

Sally Gould Wright Quilt Artist

Sally Gould Wright Quilt Artist

Sally is a quilter from Los Angeles.  As you can see from this quilt, she does an amazing job with her quilting!  For those of you who do not know what "quilting" means, it is the stitch work that is done to hold the top, batting and back of a quilt together.  The stitching could be very simple "in and out" or masterful as shown in this one.  Sally's quilting adds another layer of depth, texture and imagery to her design.

Swimming horses!  Here is what L. Kathryn has to say about her work:   

"Much of my work is whimsical in nature. I paint many subjects from urban scenes to swimming horses. I have traveled to the Amazon six times to take photos and have taught two silk painting classes in Peru. I also demonstrated silk painting for the television show, "That's Clever" on HGTV. I am drawn to expressing the limitless ways I can move people in my work and help them experience the same joy I experience with my work."

Jo Bagge of Australia describes her work:  "My etsy shop is knitonefelttwo. I love working with colour and coming up with fresh and bold designs. I love my work and enjoy using high quality materials and try to source these locally where I can particularly for felting. I mainly use 100% Australian fine Merino tops in my felted items which creates very soft luxurious fabric."
