about me

about-me.jpg

I am a Boston-based fiber artist. I live with my husband- Ben Hyde- in a Victorian era (1892) 2-family house. I have 3 kids who are mostly grown up and doing their own things. I graduated from Carnegie-Mellon University in 1976 with a BFA.

I will be in Chicago for Renegade Craft Fair! September 11 & 12, 2010.

My Etsy (online) shop.

I play Twitter here. And have a Facebook fan page.

See me in my studio in the Handmade Portrait video from Etsy.

Hear me talk about what I do-

October 2007 with Sister Diane of Craftypod.

October 2006 with Carley1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (all the links in this post.)

Here is a post with lots of doll making resources- books, kits, patterns.

A post from 2004 about how and why I got started making dolls.

Also check out the personal category in the blog.

A show I was part of in June 2002.

Are you local to the Boston area and looking for a craft type internship? I am very interested in having a part-time intern- 6 to 15 hours a week- and would love to hear from you.
