There are some designs that just keep finding themselves in my collections, season after season, year after year. I first introduced the ‘Dasati’ aka ‘Verdin’ years ago. The nazar block design is a symbol, or talisman, used to ward off and protect against an ‘evil eye’ (a curse). I cast a friendly eye using this design in vivid peacock blues in a linen and cotton duvet set, greens, gold, silver...

I am a big fan of David Mann and Fritz Karch of MR Architecture + Decor. Many years ago, David and I started our businesses out in the same building, and on our floor there was an anger management office with people screaming and bashing the walls, and a furrier who left large clumps of fur all over the hallways. Fritz started as David's trusted muse and has become more...

Ikats, Ikats, Ikats My first visit to Uzbekistan was ten years ago, arranged by Raisa, a local travel agent who helped Aid to Artisans set up a network of weavers in the Fergana valley.  It’s a great story: Aid to Artisans gave these talented weavers small grants of $500-1000. The money enabled them to attend textile shows in Santa Fe, where they sold everything they’d made! Ten years later, I’m back...

When I bought this house there was a small tobacco barn attached to the side of it; it was rough and not winterized. This was a perfect spot for my messy printing studio in the summer, just not so perfect in the winter. After living in the house for a few years and tripping over books, I decided I needed a library and a bathroom on the ground floor. I...
