500 Felt Objects

I have been waiting excitedly for my copy of the latest anthology book on contemporary felt work, newly published by Lark Crafts (A Sterling Publication) and juried by Susan Brown.  By simply, slowly, leafing through this book, it is so apparent to me, how felt work can indeed be considered art, and felt, the artist's medium for that expression.

I love it and an honored to be included in this book.  My two pieces can be seen on pages 356 and 389

 

Somerset Home Magazine

I am excited to announce that I am featured in the current issue (vol 6) of Stampington's shelter/style magazine called Somerset Home.  Pick up your copy and begin reading at 100.  My article is about felt rugs!  It is styled beautifully.



The Yellow Challenge took a Turquoise Detour

Well the past two weeks my yellow challenge was side railed by Turquoise and Red, specifically.  I finished a runner for a client and I am happy to say it turned out beautiful and I am now baack on to my YELLOW challenge!  Check out the Turquoise and Red Rug...

YELLOW HERE I COME!!!!

Don't forget, the challenge is for everyone welcome to participate, it could be something you decorated in your home, something you felted, something you made like baked, something you found at a flea market, yellow is the key, just upload it to my Festive Fibers Fan Page on Facebook! 

YELLOW

This time of year in my yard always makes me love the color yellow.  The forsythia are in full bloom, albeit this year their blooms look more like they are wearing skirts with all the flowers open at the bottom and not much up top.  What's with that?   And I just came in from plucking dandelions out of the grass.  A couple of weeks ago I made a color combination challenge, posted a photo and asked people to send in their color combination they made from the inspiration.  No one played with me!   This week I am going to challenge you and me in another way by using the color YELLOW in a challenge of ANY sort of creation.  I am painting, and felting, cooking and decorating.  I wonder what I will come up with?  And I wonder who will play with me this week?  When you have finished your YELLOW creations upload them onto my facebook fan page...can't wait.  Hmm I am also cleaning around the house and am about to hang my yellow sheets on the line to dry

A visit to Longwood Gardens

We went to summery New Jersey for Easter, and on Monday decided to visit a favorite in the Telaar house, Longwood Gardens.  The weather was beautiful - mid eighties, and sunny.  The gardens were stunning.  I have been there before but never this time of year.  The following photos are instead of a note book and sketching...but I will get out my paints for sure now that I am home.
