My grandmother and great-aunt were among the tufting pioneers of Dalton. Along with the two ladies, my Daddy and his brothers formed Redwine and Strain, a chenille bedspread business. Later, after the mill was sold , my Daddy sold yarn for a company called Candlewick Mills and later, for himself. These earrings represent the yarn cones I remember so well as a child...which built the Carpet Capital of the World! |

NEWS & EVENTS
| September 19-20, 2009: CREATIVE ARTS GUILD FESTIVAL, DALTON, GA. My first participation in any festival as a visual artist (I've been a performer in a couple) was all wet! North Georgia experienced record rain and flooding, but the show went on. The majority of the 45+ artists were moved into the concourse area, under the Guild building. |
| I created this special line of .999 fine silver jewelry from molds I made from natural materials from Whitfield County, GA. !! |
| Some pieces are highly polished fine silver and others have received a beautiful patina treatment over the fine silver. |
I condensed my display to one pair of
louvers and the two tables; one was
intended to be a demonstration table,
but the air was so wet that the clay was
really unmanageable!
