“What’s in a name? Paprika Pi was created on July 22nd, a day obscurely known as Pi Approximation Day. Shown as a fraction, 22/7 is an approximation of the mathematical constant 3.14. Hence, Pi.
And Paprika? It was a hot day!”
PPi Story
After 40 years of answering to a boss, I became my own. And I get to do what I want, when I want, where I want. Making happiness in the form of melting metal, working with polymer, weaving, spinning, dyeing, and anything else that comes to mind. No boundaries.
I welcomed weaving and embraced it.
It’s been 10 years now that I’ve been on my own with decisions and my studio is my safe place. A tornado in 2022 allowed for a re-evaluation of the space. It’s less cluttered but the garage isn’t.
PPi Philosophy
Be happy. Smile. Life is short.
Stand up straight and don't shuffle.
Try to be nice.
Whole Pi or Pi Hole
The studio. Whole Pi is my happy place, which really wanted to be called the Pi Hole, but the cats objected, and MrWhitekeys and Peanut made the decision. But MrWhitekeys crossed the rainbow bridge in October 2021, and Peanut was joined by BennyJett in January 2023. They both agree I can call it whatever I want.
