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...

Fancy Little Fedora

Combination of Merino wool and hand dyed silk crepe give a rich texture to this little fedora...

Yowzers!!!

Inspiration-- dreaming of the Great Barrier Reef down Australia way...HAd fun trying to create the undulations and textures of water, plants in the reef. See any little fish darting by? Construction is wet felted with resists for the cut-aways. Squiggles and twirls attached at the beginning of the felting process.

Fabulous shoppers!

Lots of great shoppers at the 2010 St. Philips Outdoor Art Show. This two day event was held under sunny skies amid the wafting notes of the church's spectacular pipe organ. Great 2 days for shoppers and vendors alike.

Pretty in Purple

My baby sister is a knockout and she certainly sets off this nuno-felt trapeze style top. Yes, she is a gorgeous red head...just had to show her off!

felting fun in the desert

This most recent workshop sang with the felting talents of Sharon and Linda while they made vests. The fitting and finishing is always exciting...more so with these two good friends. Thanks be for two days of felting comraderie in the Sonoran Desert.

Elegant Traveler

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.
