Felting and Fiber Studio

I know I’m late to the party, but I’ve been traveling and have several family affairs looming that need my attention.

I started out in 2014 as a forum member and then in March I was a Global Moderator!  This past year has brought many challenges and delightful learning and wonderful outcomes in terms of felting.

My year started with experiments in dyeing.

I shared my venture into encaustics.

Tried my hand at painting with wool.

Experimented with different wools.

Participated in the quarterly challenges.

 

 

 

Tried framing methods.

I broke down to drum carder envy and began my foray into making batts.  Woo hoo!

Cathy and I tried indigo dyeing.

My marketing blogs…

 

 

 

 

 

I know it’s been awhile, but its more fun felting than marketing…  Sorry.

 

I taught a felting  class.

 

There was a period of obsession with pods and vessels.

I ventured into free motion stitching.

Then I experimented with embellishments and making a book cover.

Designing and making a handbag was a huge accomplishment for me.

I  experimented with 3D felting – grapes and flowers.

 

I learned a lot of new techniques in Fiona Duthie’s class.

It was a busy year visiting farms, mills and fairs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I made scarves including a cobweb scarf.

A big project was a 3D free motion stitched bowl, oh my!

Felting a rooster, I learned to combine wet and needle felting.

Our holiday exchange was an experiment of combining beading and felting.

All in all, it’s been a very productive and inspiring year felting. Of course, there were many more projects that were completed.  It has been a wonderful year.  I want to thank all of you for teaching, inspiring me and encouraging me to do and try more.  Thank you!  A special thanks to my fellow moderators and Luvswool (Cathy),  Leonor at Felt Buddies and Nada for pitching in and contributing to the blog.  It’s been a terrific, fun journey.  I can’t wait to see what 2015 brings and what I learn and try!
