My designs are usually abstract studies My interest in fibers was a side effect of an old fascination with lichens. Laboratory research led to the accidental happy discovery of natural dyes, which in turn led to an interest in weaving. Later problems in obtaining a sufficient range in yarn hues in tapestry work led to adaptation of industrial dye techniques to studio conditions. I currently like to use a range of on- and off-loom techniques
as well as a wide variety of fiber types. My works vary in scale from
"soft wall constructions," typically 3 X 6 feet or more in size
to pectorals, which are miniature tapestries made as wearable art necklaces. More work from Sally Vinroot can be seen at
