In the News at Splendid Yarnover
New Items Now Added to
Wrap Collection
I am excited to announce that I have added four new items to my Wrap Collection. Three of these pieces are wraps in interesting new styles, and one is a loose cardigan; all four are cotton, linen, silk, and/or bamboo fibers.
Collections Redefined
Also, I have done a slight reorganization of my Splendid Yarnover website,and I am now designating my collections by function rather than season. As you will see from the Navigation Bar, above left, the Current Collections are designated as Wraps and Scarves, rather than "Spring/Summer" or "Fall/Winter" etc. The fiber content will, as always be clearly marked on each item, so you will always know exactly what you are looking at.

Here is a glimpse of one of my works. It is named "Summer in the City". Hint: it is made from PAPER! The variegated lavender and dark purple fiber is Japanese katsura linen paper (manufactured for textile use); the grape and navy solid fibers are Belgian linen. The garment is wearable, and is dry cleanable. Both of my works in the show are for sale.
Visit the exhibition to see the complete show. And for all my St Louis friends and customers, if you let me know by email or text when you are going to the show, I will try to meet you there. I am honored and excited to be included in this exhibit of very fine work, and I would love to share it with you.

Acknowledgements
Once again I must thank my dear friend Noelle Visconti for her stunning photography. Seeing my work through her camera lens is an astonishing revelation. And a big thank you also goes to Jim Irwin and Jerry Schmutz, owners of the Clayton Fine Art Gallery, for permission to take photos there. My young friends, Challen and Cayla, and mom, Katja, are the best models any designer could hope for; their approach is invariably enthusiastic, charming, and full of fun. I also want to thank David Cerven for allowing us to use Studio Altius, his functional and well-equipped place of business. The high quality of most of the photos on this site owes much to his expert advice. Lastly, I wish to thank my friend Julie, who has been both a willing model and a college intern. I owe much of my success to her energetic marketing.
