Geodes

Just finished making some felted geodes. They turned out great. Plan on teaching classes on those later.

Fashion Show HGA

Last night was a fantastic fashion show in Albuquerque at the Handweavers Guild of America conf. There were some competitive garments by students from the U of NE....very lovely. Kent State University had quite a few and they were outstanding. Pieces were dyed or felted or woven. Some of the models looked 10 feet tall :). Lighting and Music were great.

Here's the latest felted scarf which is in the gallery.

Go to Springfield ArtWorks facebook page to see the pictures I took of the Palace Yurt that was in the Cooper-Hewitt Museum in NYC some time back. I admire Janice Arnolds work. She is amazing!

Big Day Today

Glenn and I made a visit to the McClure farm to see all the new lambs. Great fun. The babies were so cute hopping around like bunnies. I got to hold a couple of the lambs and compare the feel of their wool. One was white and the other was black. Maybe some day I will get to purchase some of the wool from those lambs when they grow up.

I can then turn it into beautiful wearable art.

working on turtle felting piece

I have been working on an underwater turtle with his shell from fabric I dyed and the rest of the seascape being in wool felt. Work still in progress.
