Loon Love

Two needle felted loon pins for Amy.  Think I need to make one for myself too.

Winter Projects

Finally, finding time to create some winter felted goodies.

New Collages

Finishing up some new pieces this week.  Here's a peek.

I think some of these new collages will be suspended from felted stones.  

We'll see if Thistle Gallery likes this option.

New Collages

Working on some new fiber collages - these are not quite finished but they are getting close!

It Is Well....

Spring Break, and some precious time to play in the studio.  

It Is Well With My Soul

Five little needle felted owls went to Thistle Gallery today.

New Pieces

Finally, some time to finish up some new fiber pieces.  Several more in the works, but these two are ready to take to the gallery.

Pink & Pee Wee

Miss Pink Bird and her little friend Pee Wee made it to Santa Barbara.  Here she is, enjoying her new garden with Quan-Yin.  Thanks to her new care takers for the fun picture!

Miss Pink Bird

Lots of projects in the works and many more ideas bouncing around in my brain....here's a look at Miss Pink Bird (and her little travel companion) who recently flew to California to live with new friends. 

Thought it might be fun to document the creation of Miss Pink - here she is in progress.

 

Wire legs

 

Forming the body

 Adding the head, and next - the tail

Adding the beak - begins with a fluff of wool and is slowly formed and shaped

Wings and crown are made separately and attached

Details are stitched on, and she is complete!

 

Little Acorns

Our big oak trees in the front yard produced a huge crop of acorns last fall.  I rescued some of the caps from the squirrels one beautiful fall day....and spent a winter afternoon creating some of these cute little needle felted acorns.

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.
