STUDENT WORK at SPIRITED HANDS STUDIO WORKSHOP

Our student, fellow felter, and friend, Lois, sent us a photo of her finished Nature Print Wall Blessing from our last workshop.  We had fun in this two day class.  We used some new untried plants as well as some tried and true to each make 4 pieces in 4 different dye pots...so lots of excitement at the opening to see the results.  She finished off this particular piece with a few beads, some copper wire crochet, and golden bamboo.  Great work Lois!  Can't wait to see your finishing touches on the other three pieces...and what happens when you use some Michigan plant life!

Grand Opening Eco Dye Jacket!

After 2 hours and 15 minutes of "cooking" in the pot, one day resting in the pot, and one day resting out of the pot we finally got to open our eco dye jacket bundle!  Needless to say the anticipation was at fever pitch! Hope you enjoy this video of the opening process.  We still will have a day of drying, ironing, rinsing, and more ironing before our piece is ready for a final unveiling...

Desert Spring at the Studio

Another new vest...phoenix rising. And wait until you see Sally's newest piece. Will get photo and post as soon as I can. Good day in the studio and then a tram ride and walk in Sabino Canyon this afternoon. The desert is in glorious bloom--inspiration abounds.
