Felting Workshop: What Else is Possible?

 I'm offering a Felting Class called What Else is Possible? This class gives you the opportunity to explore the wet felting process through colour, design, surface texture, fiber manipulation or whatever you choose. It's a way to take your felting to the next level and allow your creativity to flow.
We will be working on either a 3 dimensional piece such as a vase, bowl or slippers, or are flat piece to hang on a wall or sew into a pillow. The choice is yours.
Saturday August 16 and Sunday August 17.

Here Comes the Sun

 Now that the sun finally came out for a few minutes, its time to get the dye pots going.  I purchased 2 BFL fleeces this year, along with my left overs from last year and the mohair, silk, icicle and all the other bits and pieces that I have.
Actually it began with green because I am planning on making Luka a blanket in the fall and I decided to over dye some of my plant dyed yarn with chartreuse because he wants a green blanket. That dye pot kept me on the green journey.
First I used emerald green (left side) and when it more or less was used I added more wool and it absorbed the blues left in the dyepot. Then I added yellow and got the middle colour. Since i have already dyed all these colours once, I thought by mixing and adding to existing dyepots I would get new colours...Looks like its going to work. The next colour choice is blue. Luckily the weather report says the sunshine is finally about to arrive.
