Another new concept
I decided I wanted to do an all cream colored wool design then add the color after it is crocheted. It will then get felted. I think that the color will be contained near where it gets crochet it. Maybe will be like tie dyed look. We shall see. I bought the yarn from https://brownsheep.com/ Read more

What will this transform into?
Since I began using #burlap in my work, I found this piece at a retail store and it should become an interesting piece once I #crochet then #felt it in my old washing machine. It is dimensional with the extra burlap strips. Can’t wait to get started on it. Read more

Wall hanging framing I found
I have had framing issues for my pieces when I stumbled, yes stumbled across kitchen cabinet doors at a garage sale and thought we’ll… these would make great frames for my fiber art.
