New Pieces

Spent a good part of the day playing with wool and wire and words - here are the results!

New Woolly Pieces

My new wool colors are inspiring me to create some fun little woolly collages with a heart theme.  Here's the beginning - hope to get a few collages assembled yet this week!

Needle felted squares.

Today I printed up a big selection of papers in different colors to use for collage backgrounds. 

The most fun part is next - adding wire and words and putting the pieces together.

New Wool and Juicy Colors!

Yesterday Mr. B. and I went to Pufpaff's Fiber Processing in Hastings to pick up my wool.  I had Sue Pufpaff dye the wool in lots of juicy colors - can't wait to start some new projects with the fun colors.

I usually leave the roving in the bags to store it...but this time I rolled it into giant jumbo balls - wish I had a big shelf to display them!

I really like this color - Pufpaff's dyed an orange over some of my dark brown wool - it came out looking like tiger stripes!
