Autumn's Almost Here - Nuno Felted Scarf
As summer comes to a close, I am thinking of Autumn, my favorite season in the South.
This particular scarf came to being, as a result of me thinking of Fall and the beauty that surrounds us. The scarf is made with dyed china silk and merino wool.
It is one of many of the scarves that I have created to get ready for some Fall shows.
Vision is Important to My Fiber Art
Recognition goes to the UAB photographer, Grant Martin,and Virginia Rogers, both employed at UAB. UAB has a wonderful School of Optometry and highly recognized. I was featured on the back cover of the magazine that is put out by the UAB School of Optometry. Each issue features someone who comments on how VISION is important to them in what they do. Vision is important to me in every decision I do, when it comes to working with my fiber art, especially color values and hues. I find myself being very careful working with colors, as I want them to compliment each other and stand out. My vision plays a part in that every time. I'm also thankful to a wonderful eye doctor I have had the pleasure of being a patient with, Dr. Lynn Hammonds.
Needle Felted Necklace
Here's a picture of my needle felted necklace that I created and using as the sample for the class I am teaching on Saturday on Needle Felted jewelry. The guild members all received kits for their necklaces and I taught the class. By the end of the class, everyone was getting quite creative with their jewelry. It was a good day!
Inspiration in Nature
Beautiful dogwoods blooming here in Alabama! What inspiration and beauty has been created in nature.
Is Felt SEXY?
Apparently, Stella McCartney(Paul's daughter) and Fashion Designer thinks so. In "Style" magazine, it was reported the Paris runway was showing off felted garments of all types. So, with felt garments showing on the runway, maybe, just maybe, you'll start seeing more of those garments. I'm thinking that this "Nuno felting" is definitely sexy and can make a woman look really good walking down her own runway. Contact me if you're interested in your own "customized" felted garment or artistic accessory.
Wool and silk, ooh la la!, what a combination!
