handsome man, handsome hat

Made of soft merino wool and silk gauze this nuno-felt hat looks great on this gentleman...purchased at the show and sized to personally fit him! Very debonaire...

Great Idea!

This wristlet also makes a beautful hair band...customer idea for a dual use! Lots of excitement at this show. We are the only felt exhibitors...people are so open and enthralled with the wonders of wool! Have the "Beautiful Sheep" book out on the table to share.

She shines!

lovely lady

...at the show...we didn't even know this lovely lady when we made this nuno-felt top just for her! Will she buy it? It's so fun to see the work worn by someone. Another dimension to the joy of felting...

Day 1 at the To Bead True BLue Show

Had a good first day at the show especially with all of the lovely visitors we had via the Tucson Handweavers and Spinners Guild, The Southwest Fiber Arts Guild, the felters network, and of course our fine neighborhood neighbors! Thank you all for your support...you know how good it is to look up and see a friendly face. :) The show is busy and chock full of sparkly eye candy of all kinds. I am biased but many of those shiny baubles are just waiting to be ensconced in a new felt home to really shine! ...left camera at the shop so no photos today but will catch up tonight...
