What a Relief!

I’m still felting.  Here are some tiles.

They take a fair amount of time to get them firm and the edges sharp.  But I enjoy the process even if my fingers are a little sore from stabbing myself with the needle.

Felting Mountains Out of Molehills

I have been felting lately, inspired by the Stephanie Metz workshop I took in July at Arrowmont.

This is a piece that I started in Stephanie’s class. I  originally had soft  worn down mountains and that’s how they remained until last weekend. Edwina Sutherland and I participated together at Fibrefest and I asked her what I should do with the piece. She said the mountains needed more definition. So when I had spare moments at the show I sat and felted mountains out of molehills. I had so much fun and the piece looks a lot better. It’s not what I had in mind when I started, but I do have ideas of what to do next.
