THE POMEGRANATE TREE SAMPLER
One of two samplers designed by the artist to brush up on the crewel stitch vocabulary and regain manual dexterity after years of absence from the art and later used as a class exercise to introduce students to crewel and familiarize them with two enduring motifs: the Tree of Life and the pomegranate, symbolic of health, good fortune, and fertility.

PARADISO I
The first of a planned series of three Persian style blossoms and pomegrantes, for those who cannot have enough pomegranates about. The design is full of movement, lending a lightness and modernity to a venerable embroidery motif. The design is a study in heightened relief, utilizing padding stitches to achieve a lovely dimensionality.
