Beauty and Function are the two words that direct my weaving and jewelry the most. For beauty, I first look to color and design to give a piece the unique quality that lets people know it is handmade and one of a kind.

Function is also important. Whether it is a handmade rug, towel, scarf or earings, all are made to serve a purpose. Handmade rugs bring warmth, comfort and elegance to a room, while handwoven scarves and jewelry bring the same qualities to the person wearing them.

To me function can be beautiful and beauty can function.
