This tapestry weaving was made to the words of the song "America the Beautiful" in mind. It was made on a large cardboard loom, from a lawnmower box that I have used as a demonstration loom. It is the first finished piece from this loom using the same materials!
Artist's Statement:
My artwork is often to serve a purpose, to expound upon a theme, to use color or to learn a new medium. I have enjoyed drawing and calligraphy, creating mosaics and tapestries, working with stained glass, making cards and creating a variety of useful everyday items. What gives my work life is calling upon the creative power of God for inspiration and purpose...the work carries so much more meaning if done in such a manner!
