Fibers of February..Coming Soon!

January brings a new year followed by my birthday, then paperwork for business taxes...and time to gather new supplies and bring forward ideas and inspirations for new projects.

Now in February, some glances back at some of last year's work...and some views of what I am gathering and working on now..and I plan to show more of the process again as I enjoy seeing the process of others.

These photos show some of what I love about this magical and evolving process of felting: texture, color, contrast, playing with felting in anything that doesn't move out of the way, and also community and connection: I choose most of my hand dyed silks, cottons and wools out of the relationships with other fiber artists from many parts of the world and close to home. This year may bring some personal experiments in natural dyeing. Earth Hues here in Seattle has a fine selection.

Another posting coming soon of what I am gathering and working with now.. and hopefully, one day soon. I'll figure out how to lay out photos so I could actually could have shown them now!

This one is nuno felted with merino and silk chiffon

This one: merinos with other wools, silks, fibers with tie-dyed shibori cotton

a bouquet of double decor flowers (two flowers on one stem)

This is on georgette with merino and silk hankies

This was mostly merino, silk bits on cotton scrim

More soon...
