Lots of Wool!

Today I am attempting to organize my wool stash.  Like any self-respecting fiber artist, I have WAY too much wool!  I'm hoping a new shelving unit and all these nice tubs will help me get my wool piles under control.

Wine About Winter - Big Fun!

Friday night's Wine About Winter was a bunch of fun - except for the long drive home from Grand Haven in the blinding snow (whine...)
Crowds of visitors stopped by Down To Earth and looked at my artwork and asked interesting questions about needle felting, wool, and sheep.  Sold a few things too, which made the evening even more fun.

Check this link from the Grand Haven Tribune for more about Wine About Winter 2008.

Here's a look at my display at the store.

New Pieces

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

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!
