Hanalei Waves was inspired by a photo my husband took on our way to Hanalei, Kauai several years ago. I've always loved the vivid colors in this photograph. I think the ruffle fabric was designed to adorn a wedding gown, but doesn't it make beautiful surf. Fabrics were "sliced and diced" to create the strata. Hours of hand stitching completed the dssign.

Cousin Katie Moser made these beautiful fused glass pieces to represent river rocks. The sky was mostly hand pieced using hexagons and triangles from Stamps by Kate. Beads are secured by hand-stitching around them after the netting was added. Incorporating artist Katie’s beads into my artistic endeavors was a satisfying process.
