My First Nuno Felt Bolero

Inspired by the likes of brave felters, such as my friend Joni Cornell I made my first one piece garment. While not seamless, that's next, it's the largest wearable piece I've made so far. But I sense it's only the beginning. I rolled it, a lot. I fulled it, a lot. Towards the end I was rubbing and trying it on, then rubbing a little here, a little there to adjust the fit and trying it on again, until I was pleased with the custom fit those final subtle adjustments provided. What would take stitching and ripping and re-stitching in a sewn garment, is accomplished with spot fulling.

Reds and Pinks in China

Strong and beautiful, red is the color I most associate with China.  

Here are images that represent the color of China as I saw it.  

China, Old and New.  I like taking pictures of people, especially babies.

All over China we saw Americans and Europeans with their 

new Chinese baby girls, just like the sweet little one in the picture above.
