My quilts often have leaves, trees, or are landscapes. The last several years I have been eco-printing. I love trying different techniques, the chemistry, and […]

Karen Stockwell
As a quilter, years ago I began embellishing my smaller works with beads and ephemera. That led to making bead embroidered jewelry, where beads and stones are sewn on by hand.

I began my art hobby 35 years ago in oil painting in Atlanta GA. When moving to Florida in 1994, watercolor was the popular medium, so I had to switch. In 2008, I took my first silk coloring/dyeing class, and I was hooked. I was only able to work on my craft during the weekend, […]
