Couldn't get the slide show from Picasa to open in my blog after much frustration and wasted time, so I decided to just post the photos here. This is a sampling of my newer work.
It's my feature month at Red Tree Gallery www.redtreegallery.ca here on Pender, so I made these pieces for the show.  All my wearable art pieces are given a title. Sometimes I know the name right away, it's as if it is telling me its name, and other times it takes awhile for just the right name to come to me. My husband is often a big help with naming pieces. I hope you like see my work - finally got some photos put on here!

“Tofino Tide Pools”–Hand felted wearable art wrap


Photo coming soon….after the June 3rd bridal tea!
Just finished this Wrap for my new sister-in-law to be – a bridal shower gift.
I made this piece with teal, blue and soft chartreuse Merino wools, hand dyed silk from Treenway Silks and  kettle dyed mohair locks on teal/blue iridescent silk chiffon. It felted really quite quickly, although the bit of lime green Corriedale wool I had added for a little accent colour took longer and some direct attention to get it to attach. Guess I’m just spoiled by the Merino, which felts like a dream.
