Capturing a scientific symposium in a haiku sequence! Remember the #haiku sequence on the Ammersee conference I wrote in 2018? It was included with the conference proceedings in a special edition of Visual Cognition, Vol. 27, issues 5-8, May/September Routledge, 2019 – (scroll to p.2 of the editorial). Why have a volume of papers when you can describe the whole thing in a few haiku? ![]()




What is it about colour?





I chose the uphill path…



I am slowly building a new blog about felted haiga, haikufeltings, & all about my adventures in felt, Filz & felting – please take a look & let me know what you would like to see included there.


Happy New Year to all my friends celebrating the Chinese New Year of the rat!

‘Small Reflections 2020’ is a group project organized by Robert Lamoon: members post their daily photographic meditational reflections on the world and life during 2020. There is the prospect of an exhibition too…
“Nothing profound but just intriguing black and white photographs….
I am taking part, posting my black and white photos to the Facebook group, and here.





A new journal, a new hybrid, and a new year!

Honored and thrilled beyond measure to have the opportunity to describe my journey from “Hairballs to Haiga” in a “craft essay,” with four of my felting haiga “haikufeltings” in the debut issue of the Journal MacQueen’s Quinterly, MacQ for short (see URLs below). Grateful to Clare MacQueen for highlighting haikufeltings in her introduction to the issue, giving this hybrid work a home among such a superb collection of writings.
Check it out! And Happy New Year!
