Some new fiber art pieces

 My poor little neglected blog :(
Here are a few new pieces I have been working on.
Only a couple are currently listed in the shop.
As it gets chillier I am enjoying working with so much fiber and wool

100% sheeps wool bohemian wallhanging on driftwood

pure white sheeps wool dip dyed blue ombre, with real suede leather fringe and feathers

loving thse handmade tassels in raw cotton dip dyed blues and aquas ombre on driftwood

my ever growing pile of drift wood from the Colorado floods

God's eyes in progress, waiting for pompoms and tassels

Wool felt buntings

This project, these garlands made me so happy.

First and foremost because it was a joy to work with 100% pure virgin wool felt from Nepal, in these amazingly rich colors.

It may seem like a trivial fact, but most of the felt and felt sheets out there are an awful polyester substitute, the feel between my fingers gives me the heebie jeebies!.

These little triangles are all made of thick pure sheeps wool, hand cut by hand and eye by me, and carefully sewn onto an organic cotton twill tape banner.

I hope you will be buying one for your little one's room, playroom, holiday celebration or next party!

Enjoy

Fall things

 You guys!! the days are slipping away, cannot believe we have made it to dull november again...
So much of October passed me by, as I sat sewing away, filling orders and building stock for some fairs. What a sacrifice, to miss out on ones life somewhat to pursue work...
This was the first really cold morning, she wanted to wear her furry vest to school but was shivering

thank God aunt Kezia hosted an awesome pumpkin carving soiree

their outfits were borrowed, thrifted and re-used. Put together 100% by them. I think they were 2 pirates, and a tiger

when I can,  I am busy soaking in all the color, the impermanence of it all is melancholy and beautiful every single year

there is nothing very visually appealing about this picture, including me, 

but it was a real, sweet moment captured by my (terrible photographer) husband, I was rolling around on the ground with the kids, while we raked fall leaves.

embracing wednesdays, when this lil guy has no school, doing fun things with him, 

like a bike ride, where we found these neat mushrooms

and finding time for some botanical watercoloring, while he painted butterfly masks.

Happy wednesday
