I love fiber in all its forms. I began as a traditional quilter and then progressed to art quilts where I used the quilt “sandwich” as a platform to create images from a variety of materials including paper, beads, threads, found objects, and all types of fabric. At the same time, I resurrected my crochet skills to make weird sculptures and dolls. One goal in all of this is to express my odd sense of humor; the other, to celebrate the creatures abhorred by humans. In this regard, the haiku of Issa is a great inspiration.

This soft sculpture depicts a frog jumping into a pond making a big splash and is based on Basho’s famous haiku: Old pond / frog leaps in / water sound. Various translations of this haiku plus the original in Japanese encircle the piece. Materials: cotton batiks, cotton/poly batting, Styrofoam armature, paper, beads, and embroidery floss. There is a ring on the back for hanging. Also includes a cloth bag with closure for storage.
