Custom painting disks for sage green orb to match teal thread. I do this for many of my pieces.
-
This is just a funny. I wanted to see how my wool would look if I set fire to it. I might use it sometime as an element in one of my pieces. This was just a test.

I could use your help. while I’m waiting for a consensus on my previous post, I have another question. Which one of these should I start first?

Finally decided what orb to start with. here are the beginnings of it. I’ve named this one: “Chenille Bedspread” as it reminds me of the bedspreads my grandmother had on their bed. Our naps would be on them warm fuzzy memory for me. I am still adding a few more things

I have always kept a spread sheet/journal of my work. It aides when showing as it has title, size, pricing, date made, what type of art, pictures, types of yarns, embellishments and additionally I have tags in the same spreadsheet so I can print them off as I need them they also are very flexible…

I continue to work on my webpage and am learning much on my Mac. Changing the format of the page did not help. well, if I’m going to be in a learning curve might as well dive full steam a head. I did add WordPress to my Mac so hopfully that will help too. I…

One takes a chance whenever you are gifted, purchase old wool or wool that no longer has a label. Well this piece is a perfect example of the known, unknown. The many of the grays did not felt and left these large open holes in the piece. I had to set it aside for several…

Wow, I hit a learning curve when, I not only changed website layout but also am now working on my Mac laptop. Well I am adjusting so hope this works out.

I was getting so many photos of finished works page I decided to break it up. I now have: Finished works -Wall Art Finished works – Orbs Finished works – Sculptural This will make it easier to not have to scroll on and on and on.
-
I made this orb a while back but failed to photograph it. I might have not photographed it because I was not sure if it was finished but after taking the photo I think it was done.
-
I worked a little more on my mini gallery in my garage. Moved all the orbs into the other antique wall unit. all of these have glass doors. Adjusted the other pieces in big wall unit. All of these have glass doors. I will be labeling these too.

Here is the picture of the before yarn colors and the after felting yarn colors. I will probably try to shave the orbs a little bit to bring out the colors again. I am pleased that they retained color as it is easy to have the color dissipate in the hot water to get the…

I do have to say, untangling yarn is not such a terrible thing to do. It can be relaxing, kind of like a jigsaw puzzle. Well that didn’t take long. From tangle to ball about 40 minutes. The good thing about wool yarn is it’s sticky (barbed) the bad thing about wool is it sticky…

Well today I started back on orb making. These are finished felting and are now rinsing and cooling down.
-
Still much work to be done on my felted burlap tree but wanted to show some of its progress so far.

I found this box metal fish the other day. It appears there are 6different styles. Two of them the tails are movable. They are all about an inch long and are one sided. I’m sure they are just novelty pieces but could not resist the price, $3.00 for the box. Now what to do with…

I went to a garage sale today and found a bag full of Pretty Punch threads(picture one). I have several all ready and used them sparingly because I did not have any before. So I sorted the bag and added them to my stash(picture two). Now I can use them freely. They are not felting…

I started this piece a while back and I ended up not liking it a lot of it did not felt so I said it aside and said this week was going to be the week that I actually work on it So I started filling in the spaces that I did not like and…

After felting this piece I decided to set it aside. Not sure why but it has been niggling at me so today I brought it out to begin working on it again. It has a long way to go but we shall begin again.
