Felting and Fiber Studio

A group fiber art exhibition is being shown throughout the month of August at 4 Ravens Gallery in Missoula, MT (USA). I have three of my pieces in the show and went to the opening on Friday, August 2nd. The artists were myself, Karen Straight, Melissa Thompson, Angie Evenden, Julie King and Judith Colvin. It was 99 degrees F (37.2 C) so very hot and a bit smokey in Missoula but there was a good turnout despite that.

Here is a view of most of the work at the front of the gallery. I am on the right and that’s Judith sitting down on the left.

Here is Karen Straight standing by her two pieces, the needle felted bison and the bear. Karen has written a few guest posts here on The Felting and Fiber Studio and does amazing animal portraits in wool.

Here’s a closer view of me by my three pieces. If you’re a regular reader, you should recognize these three as I have written about all of them here.

This is a needle felted raven by Julie King, she also created the foxes and a couple of other needle felted creatures on the wall by my work.

This needle felted rabbit is by Melissa Thompson and her pieces are a mix of fiber, found objects and mosaics.

These three felted lamps are created by Judith Colvin. She also creates felted hats, scarves and felt ornaments.

This is a mixed media fiber art piece by Angie Evenden. She uses a variety of techniques, fibers and fabrics to create collages of the natural world.

This was the sunset after the opening was over. The sun was even redder than this photo shows. Sadly, that’s due to forest fire smoke in the air but it is certainly beautiful. If you happen to be in Missoula, MT in August, please stop by to see the show.
