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.

A big thank you to the Carnegie public library in Angola, Indiana for allowing me to have a solo show this month. What a great display center. It was also nice to hear many people wanted me to set up a talk concerning my work. I never considered doing this but will think about it…

A mini gallery spot of all my own and behind glass. My dearest life partner has had this shelving hidden in the garage for many years. After I begun to create pieces and quickly in need of keeping them clean and dust free he unearthed it for me to store them in. I finally was…

Well not really taking a break as just not using felting wool. I found this yarn and wanted to make a Hyggi shrug type. I think I will have enough to make it, ten balls at 50 grams each. Using a “K” bamboo hook and a half double stitch gives this yarn a very nice…

This soft sculpture is not quite finished as I need to apply it to a base. These are different sides of it. Looks kind of like a sea urchin from deep below.

One of the people I follow, was contemplating the afterlife of their art once they are gone. I too have contemplated the same thing about my choice of art and its afterlife without me. I have suggested that since I will be cremated it could just go along with my body into the crematorium. I…

I wrote the below in 2006 much has changed but still make sure crochet continues to have a full seat at the table. It has been whispered for several years, a slow low reverberation, of “crocheters” taking their hooks to task, to the forbidden fibers. Challenging the yarn shop owners to “teach me” to put…

You can find me in aisle thirteen, will you join me? Where is aisle thirteen? What is in aisle thirteen? Why am I, in aisle thirteen you ask? In the passageway of my mind I am in my aisle thirteen where fibers of all types, colors of every hue, tint and twist are hanging, crammed,…

I think I’m done with my soft sculpture (pillow). The colors were my take off point for this piece. Then came the beading. After finishing the two sides I felt it talking to me about the two sides. The front was muted and dull ish. The three crosses in a circle spoke much of this…

Taking a break from the orbs (still working in the round😊) and working on a beaded pillow. These colors are to me, a beautiful combination. Subtle, tonal and calming. The front is free formed and the back is circular. Much like my helmets that I design. Helter-skelter on the one side of the brain, the…

Pink is not a color I work with often as it’s not my preferred color. The black felted orb just said make me pink so.. I listened to the orb. Once finished I felt it called the 50s poodle skirts.
-
Working on mini orbs as well as larger ones. They have been fun and surprisingly take about along as a larger ones.
-
Felted burgundy orb turquoise, white and gold. I played off the center cummerbund for the colors. It kind of reminded me of Gypsy colors.
-
This is the one I painted on, which does not so up much now that it done but it did make it not so bright orange.
-
Cadet blue felted orb with tan flowers, chocolate brown crocheted circles and gold thread wound through it and assorted style size beads.

I received in my email today a nice note (below) from the library where I am showing. Carnegie Library of Stuben County . I had approached them around February of this year asking if I could show. She said the most time people are in is in July and would love to have my art…

I got the pieces together and set up at the solo showing and one of the pieces sold. It was the King of Hearts orb. Off to Texas it goes. Thank you Lora!

First and foremost I want to thank the Carnegie public library in Angola, Indiana for their awesome opportunity. They have a wonderful area for showing. They allow it to run for a month. They had a place card for my business cards and two clear stands for my artisan statement. The Stuben Art Scene generously…
