Purchased yarn (wool or wool-mohair blend) is re-spun by the artist, using commercial, vegetable, or insect dye as needed. Continuous warping on traditional (vertical) Navajo loom is used with simple and crossed weft weaving techniques. Latter is similar to the Navajo raised outline, but different and more challenging. Techniques are artist developed over 20 years and continues to expand, resulting in better design elaboration. Traditional Navajo tools are used with measurement tools, color wheel, dinner fork, needles, etc. Gems and shells are sometimes attached to the weaving pieces. Traditional Navajo teachings are often integrated with Christian's, such as the number four and trinity (three) during design and color selection. Weaving pieces are intended for wall hanging or as furniture covers, such as a piano.
