Portfolio Example & Materials Statement
Cathy Abercrombie

I create handwoven textiles on my grandmothers 90 yr old handmade Cherokee floor looms. I use only natural fibers such as wool, alpaca, linen and cotton and only natural hides such as sheepskin and bison. My main artworks are blankets, shawls and wall hangings.
