Installation complete
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… Read more

Experiment on orb
I decided to see what would happen when I wet the felted orb then paint acrylic paint on it before embellishing on it. I wanted it to bleed a little then have paint on top. We shall see how it ends up once it is dry and embellished. Read more

I’m on fire
I decided to experiment with cleaning up felted wool in a slightly different way. I usually shear it after it’s felted (and still will do) because all the fibers get fuzzy and slightly mask the original colors before the felting process. I decided to burn with a lighter the wool in places where the color… Read more

On the Eve of Dawn -orb
This gray, and silver orb was so easy it almost made itself. My partner was taking a pair of shoe laces out of his long deteriorated shoes and I had the vision of that movement which led to the making of it. No these are not his shoelaces 😊 I just got the beads over… Read more

2nd mini orb
I finished a second mini orb. This one is in burgundy. These are a challenge to embellish as the smallness of the size but definitely quicker to complete than the larger ones. These are a little larger than a ping pong ball. Read more

Screaming 😱 70’s
Does this not just scream the 70’s colors? I was gifted this wool and have wanted to work in it for a while sooo taking a little time away from the orb make – not much though to work on this wool. I absolutely love working in old needlepoint wool❤️! Read more

“Plums in Snow” orb
I wanted to use some bendable wire on the orbs and this natural one begged to use the purple color wire. The wrapped wool sets it off. Read more
