​Ellie Beth Scott
Santa Fe, New Mexico
​From the Editor: Enchanting is one of the the best words I can think of for Ellie Beth Scott's work. Her small, thoughtfully imagined and delicately designed quilted and embellished narratives reflect the best of what I see from the meditational stitchers across the globe. It is exciting to show you a view into  her studio, across her process; with works in progress, finished works and groupings across time. I also decided to "stuff" this article with a sumptuous array of images, enjoy the groupings as if you are standing in her studio or they are right there with you wherever you may be!

I usually begin with a drawing from my journal. The process of constantly drawing visual ideas is very beneficial. It allows me to keep my imagination flowing and acts as a resource when it’s time to articulate my fabric art.

DURRAE JOHANEK
Zia Gallery
Truth or Consequences
​From the Editor: Durrae Johanek is a Pennsylvania native, transplanted to Montana in 1992. Durrae Johanek and her husband John divide their time between Bozeman, Montana and Truth or Consequences, NM. Finding the small-town atmosphere filled with generational  families, artists, writers and musicians to be amenable, they opened the Zia Gallery. John is an accomplished illustrator and portrait artist. Durrae fashions a wide range of fiber art including baskets, knitted and crocheted items and gourd art. You will often find her in her gallery spinning fibers for her projects. Durrae finds spinning and working the roving soothing. Durrae said in a shoebox under her bed is a diploma from Kutztown State University (yes, that’s a real school) that says she was qualified to write 4 books on Montana and work as an editor for Bird Watcher’s Digest and assorted medical publishers for way too long.

After spinning my first skein of yarn, I was hooked.
After weaving my first basket, I was hooked. 
I find it rewarding and even exciting to create
something from nothing, especially an item that's functional and can last for generations.

 JACQUELINE MALLEGNI
Paper Rain Studio

From the Editor: New Mexico is steeped in history. Having lived and traveled throughout this country for many years, it is always a delicious occasion to find another sweet part of history tucked away somewhere. And it is also a wonderful occasion to encounter an earth centered, major artistic talent in one of these tiny worlds. I met Jacqueline Mallegni a number of years ago during the former fiber tour sponsored by EVFAC. And subsequently have spent time in her environment in a special spot once occupied by fiber artist Alice Kagawa Parrott. A gentle garden and Japanese styled
​home and studio, Jacqueline, Paper Rain Studio and Gallery, creates her work and offers unique  and peaceful workshops.
Picture
​I create contemporary fiber art in a variety of media,
​with a particular focus on spiritual ecology, handmade paper art and sculpture. 
​
I offer workshops online and in-person at my Santa Fe Studio. In an effort to acknowledge the current climate and social crises, I have designed a new workshop series called “The Art of Making and Spiritual Ecology”. “Each session is designed to enliven your art practice by developing a relationship with natural materials and foraging. I will personally guide you through the process of transforming paper, sticks, thread and imagination into sculpture”. I also offer custom 1:1 papermaking and sculpture sessions as well as daylong workshops.

I began making paper with kozo fiber in 1989. My journey with paper and sculpture has been varied from light fixtures to stone carving to ethereal mixed media sculpture. The thread
of my creative process always begins with paper.

Confluence
Making and the art of transformation from tangible to intangible returning to a tangible form is very alluring for me. I am interested in working with materials that translate my appreciation for spiritual ecology, water, wind, light and dark. Patterns in nature, textures and seasonal changes inform my sculptures that reveal primitive and refined qualities. Aside from nature's inspiration,
I’m also interested in the concept
of the ethereal journey,
​motherhood, vacancy, loss, renewal and how emotional responses can evoke beauty

BARBARA HOLLOWAY
Fine Handweaving
Galisteo,  New Mexico & Sarasota, Florida
From the Editor: Barbara Holloway is a very very busy and prolific weaver of wearables who  travels and exhibits extensively. Beginning in 1972, with a move to Santa Fe, she decided to focus on what she loved, clothing and  weaving. 
Of course we all slow down a bit as time goes by. She has been spending winters in Florida for a number of years, enjoying the warmer temperatures. But that has not slowed her down by much. Barbara, with her husband, exhibits in many nearby venues.  She also brings prepared woven fabric to assemble garments while having time to walk and play out of doors. 

I recently had a good conversation with Barbara while she is in Florida. We discussed many aspects of her approach.
I particularly loved her garment constructions which involve exposed fringed edges and her newer technique of joining different woven panels into a complete jacket or poncho. She also described how important the drape of the garment is in her work. She is a happy, focused fiber artist who loves what she does!

I Iove to weave. My body craves the rhythmic motion. I began weaving after years of sewing with a desire
to go one step further and create
​my own fabric for designing and sewing garments.
Picture
My design inspirations come from everywhere, sometimes even dreams.
​But they formulate during the many hours spent at the loom throwing the shuttle back and forth. I'm always thinking about the next great piece.

3rd in a Series of 4. Pieced from my handwoven fabrics woven of rayon chenille, cotton and bamboo. One of
​a kind. Hand crocheted neck edge with and assortment of buttons for closure. Easy fit, easy care.

I’ve been weaving the “Desert” colorway for some time.  I weave 25 yard runs of each colorway. This garment is the “Desert” Twist Shawl. It is rayon chenille, cotton and bamboo. It is an easy fit for very nearly everyone. ​
