The vote was unanimous – pick one of the photos of the Cliffs of Moher. Ok, so The Vote was what AwesomeE said to pick. Y’all gotta step up if you don’t want her to let the power get to her head. After some careful deliberation, I settled on one… Read More »Cliffs of Moher and Kitten Prevention
It took me almost a month, but I’ve finished my second needle felt from one of our Ben Nevis North Face hike pictures. Some of this is because I had a long break between felting sessions. This is how far I’d gotten with it by November 10th: I’d previously finished… Read More »Another North Face View Finished
We’re doing another virtual Needle Felt workshop in December with my husband and some of his family as part of our virtual holiday celebrations. I’ve been working on pulling it together since September? October? Anyways, we have nine of us total who will be doing it. Cecilia Ho is putting… Read More »More Paints
For my current needle felt piece, I changed up a couple things. First, I’m using a thinner pre-felt (the backing). The first set I ordered prior to the needle felt class is, frankly, a bit too thick. It makes a great finished piece because it feels nice and sturdy, but… Read More »Return to the North Face
Sometimes, I forget that art can be really really hard. Some of you may be thinking “well, no duh” but I mean more than just the technical side. Of course, that part can be quite hard, but it’s the sort of hard I’m good at dealing with. I have good… Read More »Fear or “Art is Hard”
On Saturday, my Shetland “Rainbow” arrived in the post. It’s exactly as I was hoping, with a wide range of bright, but not neon bright, colors. It also finally supplied me with a bit of grey fiber, which I was sorely lacking. Sadly, this braid never had a chance to… Read More »Cetatea Neamtului
Last weekend I did a little strategic stash augmenting. First, I ordered a rainbow braid of Shetland wool from The Caledonian Wool Co. The shop is owned by Jam, an awesome person I met last year at Shetland Wool Week. Her shop opened just weeks later in Fort Williams. Funnily…… Read More »Paint Box
I really enjoyed the felt painting workshop. So much so, that I’ve nearly completed two more pieces. My first was taken from a photo from our hike up the North Face of Ben Nevis early last October. It’s a bit strange that it’s already been almost a year since then,… Read More »Revisiting last years vacations
So last Sunday I and my sister-in-law took Cecilia Ho of FelTastic Fashion’s virtual workshop on needle felting through FiberWorld 2020. The theme was to create a sunrise/sunset sort of picture. I was excited because if you check out her Instagram or other sites, she does some neat work, and… Read More »Needle Felt Sunrise/Sunset with Cecilia Ho
Fiberworld 2020 I recently learned about Fiberworld 2020 in a Facebook group I’m in. It’s occurring from August 19-23rd and consists of online vendors, demos and classes. I’ve bought my ticket because it looks promising – it’s attracted Abby Franquemont as one of the teachers and it was put together… Read More »Needlefelt and Fiberworld 2020
