Sorry for the Delay

For those of you that are waiting for Part 2 of the Nuno Felted Journal process, do not fear! I dear friend of mine passed away while staying with me and my heart has been heavy. I am now remembering the great times we shared and knowing that he is on a new and exciting journey. My heart is lighter and peace is being revealed once again. Part 2 will be posted this coming week, so be sure and watch for it.

Raise a glass and give a smile to "Chief" aka Terry Hook, the next time you tip a glass of wine, bottle of beer or cup of tea.

New Items in my Etsy shop

It's only taken 3 months but I am finally starting to add inventory to my Etsy shop. The first is this super soft and thick headband crocheted from single ply merino wool in a dark and rich eggplant color. It is adorned with two 3 dimensional hand felted flowers and a long green vine and leaf that winds its way across the headband. This is a one of a kind item as no two flowers are ever alike.

The second is my own pattern that I designed to wear on my bad hair days. But honestly, I think its so cute I wear it on good hair days too! I have long thick hair and some days I just don't want to wear it down - and I don't like pony tails. I do like lacy warm hats though. What to do? Create a Head Sock!

The Lace Crochet Head Sock is the perfect versatile accessory for all hair types. The design is feminine, made of warm soft wool in an oatmeal color and so fun to wear. Wear it on top of your hair, pull your hair through it or even tie the end closed and you have an adorable pixie hat. This hat is exceptional for dread locks. If you want your dreads out & flowing but want your head and ears warm just slip on a head sock! Click HERE to see this listing on Etsy.

New - Handmade Felt Tree Hugger Purse

Carry your valuables in an eco friendly bag and show your support for green and sustainable textile processes. This great bag is made of super soft Merino wool, with Romney wool used for the tree trunk to give awesome texture and detail. I also added some white wool and silk fibers for highlights. I used the resist technique to make exposed layers in the trunk giving even more texture and detail. I made felt leaves then needle felted them for another level of incredible texture!

The outside dimensions of the body measure approximately 14" wide and 15" long. The inside dimensions are approximately 12" wide and 14" deep. The handle hangs down about 12" from your shoulder.

The handmade felt process plays with the natural behavior of wool fibers when dampened and agitated. Each piece is unique, controlled by color choice and fiber layout, but always with an element of risk and surprise. Soft, yet durable and thick handmade felt is something you will want to hold and never let go. It‘s a tactile and visual indulgence. Felting is one of the best eco-friendly and sustainable textile processes. It requires only soap, water and muscle. Be eco-conscious - Wear Handmade Felt!

The rich organic forms achieved compliment the restrained simplicity of my handmade items. My designs follow a preoccupation with surface texture bringing forth an air of individuality, beauty, complexity, simplicity and a true creative process. Sprinkled into every fiber is the laughter and love of a life shared with our Divine nature, our animals, everyone we meet and our natural environment. All our creations resonate with countless magical moments.

Celestial Felt Earrings

I made these for a contest at The Crafty Retailer. If you have a pair that have incorporated at least one fiber element and would like to enter, send a photo to thecraftyretailer@gmail.com.

I created felt from alpaca fiber - it gives the earrings a great background texture. I then embroidered a sun on one and a moon on the other, using silk threads. Each earring has an embroidered silk star, seed beads and a larger faceted bead. I hid the stitching & knots on the back with another layer of felt then needle felted them together. They are hung with antique patina brass ear wires. I hope you like them - I had a blast making them. :D
