Thistle Gallery, Holland

My collages and fiber pieces are now at Thistle Gallery in Holland, Michigan.  This cool little gallery has a great variety of artwork and I am thrilled to have my work at Thistle.  Stop in and visit my stuff!

Orange Song Bird

More fun with the needle felted birds - I think the wire gives them a good bit of funky personality.

Experimenting a bit with fiber critters, and this little guy makes me smile!

New Fiber Pieces Coming Soon!

My latest fiber collages are starting to shape up!  I work in steps to create my art, moving from printing the backgrounds to bending and pounding wire and thinking about words and quotes that interest me.  This week I've been needle-felting small shapes from wool (generously donated by my sheep!).

These juicy fiber shapes will soon be combined with hand printed papers, wire, and of course...words!

 

Soap In A Sweater

I have been having fun creating more "Soaps In A Sweater", and hope to have them available in a local business soon!  These are made by wrapping wool roving around soap and then wet felting the fibers to the soap.  The result is a decorative soap that creates tons of lather and gently exfoliates too.

Wool Roving and Soap - Soap in a Sweater begins!
