 Marcy is a multi-talented artist who creates beautiful hand-made jewelry and hand-woven wearable items. Her unique jewelry is made from different metals incorporating a variety of patinas and textures. You will find jewelry accentuated with fabrics and beads, as well as quirky pieces such as her button necklaces. Marcy uses multiple looms to create colorful and elegant shawls, scarves, and rugs that will delight your senses. Both practical, colorful, and lovely, her scarves are very soft to your touch. Her knitted open-finger hand warmers are perfect for a cold winter’s day. Marcy is also a teacher of master weaving techniques and origami. Come visit Marcy's work this month at Penn Cove Gallery.
In 2021 Janis began hand painting textile dye onto the warp threads that run the length of her scarves. A shuttle carries a single color weft thread interlacing the dyed threads to create the cloth. Sometimes the pattern is a plain weave with the weft thread alternating over one and under one to feature the color on the scarf. Other times a more complex weft interlacement is woven over the changing colors of the warp creating a pattern. Janis says that watching the changes as the color and pattern interact with every throw of the shuttle is enthralling. Visit our gallery to see for yourself!  Summer Garden scarf |
