A teaser view of a new piece. I've submitted it to felt::feutre canada's online presentation 'Words' so I won't show the whole piece yet...but it will be at my show here on Pender July 5-7. ;) . . #feltart #felt #feutre #filt #filtro #keçe #filz #vilt #makingfelt #localart #handmadefelt #bcfeltartist #penderartist #monicabennettfelt #monicabennett #penderislandbc #penderartist #penderisland #handmade #wetfelting #handfelting #feltartists #feltartist #finnwool #resistfelting #feltfeutrecanada #canadianfeltart #canadianfeltartist #canadianmade #MBarchive

Day Three of sampling.. what will it become? I love this felting technique. I have a great idea for a piece but before I commit to it, I make a sample. Such a time and materials saver in the end - a lesson that I had to learn the hard way, of course. . . #feltart #samplingisasuperpower #samplingismycreativesuperpower #samplingsavestime #felt #feutre #filt #filtro #keçe #filz #vilt #makingfelt #canadiancraft #canadianmade #canadianfeltart #textileartist #penderislandbc #penderartist #penderisland #handmade #finnwool #felting #MBarchive

Another sample for another project. I really like the texture and subtle sheen of this monochromatic piece. . . #feltart #felt #feutre #filt #filtro #keçe #filz #vilt #makingfelt #wetfelting #wetfelted #canadianfeltartist #feltsample #samplingisasuperpower #MBarchive #felting #penderislandbc #penderisland #bcfeltartist #penderartist #monicabennettfelt

Sampling -a great way to test ideas/materials/layouts and see what works (and what does not). Interestingly, the far left is the one that fits the plan...it's brighter in real life. 😉 . . #feltart #feltartist #felting #wetfelted #merinowools #silkchiffon #handdyedsilk #wetfelting #samplingisasuperpower #penderislandbc #penderartist #monicabennettfelt #monicabennett #felt #feutre #filt #filtro #keçe #filz #vilt #makingfelt #canadiancraft #canadianmade #canadianfeltart #MBarchive #collaborativeart

Four ferries in one shot - Queen of Cumberland, Mayne Queen and Salish Orca and Spirit of Vancouver Island, on whose deck I'm standing. On our way to the big city, with all its crazy traffic and drivers.....going to deliver some artwork to @craftcouncilbc along with family stuff. . . @bcferries #bcferries #ferrytravel #penderislandbc #gulfislandliving #islandlife #crazycitytraffic #feltart #feltartist #MBarchive #penderartist

Today this scarf gets finished! I like the colour palette and the painterly swirls. A rather new and different design for me. . . . #feltart #felt #feutre #filt #filtro #keçe #filz #vilt #makingfelt #canadiancraft #canadianmade #canadianfeltart #feltartist #felting #wetfelted #merinowools #silkchiffon #wearablefelt #wearableart #wetfelting #handfelting #feltartists #penderislandbc #penderartist #textileartist #penderisland #bcfeltartist #MBarchive #feltfeutrecanada
