I have invented a bendable, weavable fabric art stick in two thicknesses and various lengths. It can be used to create weavings, baskets, structures, stick figures, body adornments, costuming, jewelry. I can show completed work and allow others to create with extra sticks.

Maker of sticks, born in Indiana, lived in Europe, the southern US before coming to CA in 2003 to join grown children and grandchildren.Sewing since the 50s everything from drag queen attire to giant stuffed cacti. After relocating to the bay area, I started Stickball an artware studio, where I invented those fantastic bendable fabric Ficklesticks.(I was trying to invent a spiral angel wing.) Several galleries and boutiques sell my work nationally, including Museum of American Folk Art, NYC and the De Young. I have exhibited with Berkeley Artisans, the Women's Building show and KPFA's Holiday Arts and Crafts. Ficklesticks are the subject of a book to be published late summer by C&T Publishing.No fancy degrees or credentials. Only a love of making and a creative mind.
