I am a fiber artist living 20 miles from the Northeast gate to Yellowstone National Park. We live just off the Chief Joesph Highway. Walk, ski or snowshoe everyday. I am a founding member of the 1st Textile Art group in Wyoming, Textile Artists of the Greater Yellowstone. One last thing, I am terrible at updating my blog. I always promise to do better but so far I fail at that. Must be because I am busy creating art??

Fences
This quilt is 18" X 24" and I used rusted, melted glass and melted plastic I found on our property in Crandall Wyoming. These are remnants of how a "let it burn" policy in Yellowstone National Park 1988 destroyed private property. This is what is left of some of the homes that were once on our property when the fire went beyond Yellowstone. I remember Cody was like a war zone, National Guard were in Cody to fight the fire, the sky was a dark grey and we had ashes floating in the air. It was so dark during the day the street lights automatically came on. It was not only un healthy but very sad to see so much beautiful Wyoming destroyed. The mountain behind where these objects were found is still barren of trees.
