Cordage is ancient and foundational. In our modern world it is hiding all around us- in the clothing that we wear and all of the activities that would not be possible without a simple length of cord. Having worked with textiles for decades, I was flabbergasted when I first learned that beautiful thread could be made with no tools other than our own hands. My exploration of cordage began with learning to twist wild harvested plants. Curious, I applied the process to the abundance of materials in my studio and life. I had held onto my great grandmother’s threadbare handkerchief for decades- precious but altogether unusable. As cordage it became a strong, loving reminder of her- a necklace that I could wear and a process that...

I am a maker, and a doer, a horsewoman, a rancher, a sister and a daughter. I live my life with as much intention as I can, and follow my heart as much as possible. The only things that get in the way of that sometimes are my head, and society. I have studied horsemanship, yoga, nature connection work, primitive skills, equus/life coaching, permaculture and probably more. I am a studier of life, I like to know how to do things and why we are the way we are. And try to live my own life artfully.
