Cute little Tree

 I enjoyed myself making this little tree today - another addition to my Woolen Enchanted World Collection.

Woollen Enchanted World

Resilience: after failing to make the "Wet Felting Beachscape" painting with the kit I had purchased, I didn't give up. I spent a couple months unhappily looking at it, then I decided to make a 3D piece instead. With needle felting and whatever materials I had available I created this beach scenery in the center of the picture. It was so enjoyable that I decided to make more - seven smaller ones too. I tell you, I admire you people who make those beautiful woolly paintings. My talent doesn't get that far or I am too hard on myself. Or yet both. #livingfelt

Art in the Garden 2018

After a challenging year, I am grateful to have my woolly work done to show off at Sarasota Art Center “Art in the Garden: A Holiday Arts Boutique”.

My booth will be conveniently set inside the Art Center building. 

Stop by and see my fairy dolls, scarves, wreaths, wrapped soaps bars, & much more. I count on your support and friendship to keep on doing what I love the most: art.

 I made these beautiful dolls inspired by Christine Schafer's creations.

Flower pins

This week I made these five felted flower brooches to bring light colors to the season.
I made them with merino wool 19 microns (80%) and silk (20%), using the technique wet felting.
With a safe pin on the back you can easily attach it to your coats, cardigans, dress, scarf, bags, hats, or where your imagination chooses.

Burlap Square Wreath

Burlap&Lace Wreath

I had seen this burlap and lace mix before so I decided to make my own version of it. I first made the core of my wreath with a pool noodle that I bought from a Dollar Store. I wrapped it with twine making sure it was very sturdy, then started making these burlap flowers in two tones. Then I put all pieces together and my first burlap/lace wreath came out and I can't wait to make another one. 

Mermaid on the rocks wreath

Techniques: Wet and dry felting - SOLD - She's wearing her pink necklace and put on a matching tiara to go to her forever home in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Silk Tree

Another tree in needle felting. I made this one using Artfelt paper and sari silk.
The picture doesn't show the texture and shine I got with this silk. Love it. :)

Needle felting Tree

"Not only are trees essential for life, but as the longest living species on earth, they give us a link between the past, present and future." This is a 12x12" needle felting painting, made with Merino wool, Mohair and Ramie fibers. It is going to be hung on our dining room.
