My name is Denise Trastek and I have been making baskets of different media since 1998. I started making baskets with reeds, and over time changed my media and began working with waxed Irish linen thread, beads and silk thread. Because I live in Arizona, I am able to enjoy Native American baskets and I spend time studying these baskets in order to create new ones using thread instead of grasses. I get so much joy, comfort and peace from weaving, and I hope my Heartsong Weavings give you joy in your life.
