a half day off

After 3 hard days and a bad cold included  I have some more time to relax until late afternoon, when we have to take the exhibition down. I still cannot upload any photos to the blog, hmmm, no idea what is wrong.
We had lots of people going through yesterday and lots of good comments. Now we need the buyers ;)

Just some shots

Art in the Garden

I spend all morning at Origin helping with setting up the exhibition and of course my own things. I am pleased how it turned out, I think they fly nicely in the brise.

old photo

Just found an old photo when I was spinning at a market in Germany

and our first stall at the christmasmarket in Neunkirchen

lazy

I have been lazy recently writing here, but busy with all sorts of other things. Finally I finished yesterday the things to put in our 5th Art in the Garden on the weekend. The floating paua was more difficult than I thought. To felt around the shells was a bit tricky and finally I used some PVA to be sure that it doesn't fall off.

I will take better photos once it is hanging in the Garden. While I was working on this I got so frustrated by the behaving of the wool, that I suddenly realized, the wool would be so much better for a cobweb scarf and  I made a quick decision and did one and I am quite happy about the result. It will definitely get a small paua shell as a clasp or so and I will call it mermaid's wrap

In a spontanious moment I made another hanging for the exhibition, which I call just rainbow. Here it is drying in the shower

This afternoon we (all members of the coop) will meet for a little working bee. I am still waiting for my granddaughter right now. She decided to have a nice long sleep at home and daddy had time, so she will come later today. I will take her with  me to Origin. She can have fun with all the aunties and grannies there ;)

'Felters of the North' Day

We had some fun today trying out some techniques with novelty yarn and fabric pieces to make a scarf

stitches on felt

Here are my first examples of stitches on felt

This is a felted necklace I made some month ago. It is placed on my 'paua' wool
