Dorothy, your work is truly inspirational. I've made baskets for 30 years, and am now into altered art. My muse has been encouraging me to incorporate weaving and I think I'll soon be at work!! Thanks!

Wonderful work! I can't wait to go and see the exhibit during the reception. These sorts of opportunities are so few for us in Eastern NC.
