While creating ceramics and pottery, we created ‘kiln gods‘ to place on top of the kilns – to ensure a good firing. I was inspired! So when I was eventually teaching computer art, one of the student projects was to create digital ‘render gods‘ – to ensure the computer would work with us and our creations. Students also created the form as a sculpture.

Fast forward 25 years and I’m creating fiber art dolls – to grace my home and weaving studio….to add good vibes to my surroundings and all my endeavors —
