Everyone loves the new sofa

Meandering Vines

I love the lines of wool that meander the length of this piece.

The soft and lofty stage is my favorite.

You can see the dry lay out progressing through these photos.

Though not pictured, the piece has been rolled, and is well felted.

Now it just needs fulling.

Later I will post the completed shawl.

The Mad Hatter

You can find this lovely at The Mad Hatter, in Port Townsend, Washington.

Open Spaces

Felt Without Borders

There's not much of a nuno felt community where I live. Not like painting or pottery where you can check out local galleries that show and sell those pieces. But good fiber art galleries are hard to find locally, which is why I so appreciate Etsy and the opportunity it offers me, as a nuno felt artist, to see what others are doing with the medium, as well as building friendships and sharing ideas with like minded felters. For me, this all goes under the heading, "Can't get enough felt!"

So a couple of months ago on a visit to other "Etsyans", that is Felt making Etsyans, I came across Joni Cornell, and her Etsy shop. I love the way Joni blends the colors on her scarves, the simple details and spikey fringe. In particular I fell in love with an avocado green, brown and black number. I had already sent Joni an email telling her how much I liked her work and in the course of our back and forth art chat , we hit on the idea of an exchange, the scarf I had fallen in love with in her Etsy Shop for one from my Etsy shop .

Kirstin models the scarf that Joni chose.

I love holding Joni's piece in my hand and knowing it came all the way to me from Melbourne, Austrailia, where I have a friend in felt.

I have used Joni's scarf as a runner so I can spread it out and enjoy all the beautiful colors

From one end to the other.

Green Tuesday in Ireland

This mosaic is really a nostalgic picture story.  Burt and I spent a delightful week of artistic community in the lush country side that is Mulranny, County Mayo, Ireland.  We comprised a like minded bunch eager to share ideas and learn.  A small group, but multinational,the United States, Canada, Ireland, England, and South Africa were all well represented. We had  a lot of laughs, made and saw a lot of art, and ate a lot of really good food.  I can't help but smile when I think of that trip.
