Studio Open House

Yesterday, guests were greeted with a colorful display of Nuno Felt shawls soaking up the morning light outside the studio. The first, of what I hope will be many, studio sales of felting supplies went very well. Cotton scrim and hand painted roving were the hits of the day.

Many delicious hanks of wool and wool and silk color blends

found new and loving homes.

I took the opportunity to show off some of my latest boxed soaps.

More Gauze Shawls

I seem to have found my present niche........nuno felt shawls.

I love making them and I enjoy wearing them.

Big and colorful, yet light in weight. Perfect for summer!

Barcelona Shawls

The colors and patterns that I saw in Barcleona

inspired me to make these two nuno felt shawls within days of my return.

Talmadge Art Show

Next weekend I will be showing and selling my work at the fall Talmadge Art Show . It's a wonderful show, I think it's the best in San Diego. I have been doing this show for the past five years, in the spring and in the fall. This show will be the biggest yet with 56 artists from many mediums. In addition to my scarves, and pillows, I will be showing these gauzy shawls. They are large and dramatic, making them suitable for draping over baby grand pianos or the foot of your bed, when not being worn. The fabric I used for the first two below is hand dyed from Australia. They are soft and light weight. Perfect for Southern California.
