Colour Contest

I just came back from a holiday in Greece and the whole time, I was looking at the beauty of the colours of the landscape. Taking this picture I thought about what an awesome colour combination and, of course, being a dyer, I thought wouldn't this look awesome on yarn.

I just ordered a new bulky yarn, a super soft merino, angora and a bit of nylon blend, it will be awesome for cowls, hats and bulky baby sweaters...I am ready to begin my new collection so I'm asking for your ideas.

How much does nature inspire your creativity?

Colour in Neutral

Now that I'm moving forward after my trip to visit family in Toronto, I am back in my studio and exploring new ideas and new ways to felt/
I love colour and I use it a lot in my art practice. I understand that some people like neutral, but I'm just not one of them. I am, though, learning to do colour in neutral and this piece is my interpretation of just that.

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.
