Posies in all colors! Very easy to make…I cut three circles in graduated sizes. I picked out a vintage button or two for the center of each one. Then I cut a wire twice the length of the stem, fold it in half, and thread it onto the button and through the layers of the stacked felt circles. For the leaves I cut a small leaf, and a 4 inch piece of wire. The stem and the leaf wire I covered in florist tape, adding the leaf stem as I covered the stem. The flowers can be any color, the more the merrier! And the center buttons don’t have to be a matching color… The vase is made from a mason jar and a sleeve from a felted wool sweater. I moistened the sleeve as it was rather tight on the jar and then just worked it down over the jar. This grey plaid wool was a great cover for the chipped mason jar. I may be linking to these great parties!

When I finish a big project I often have an explosion of work that has been waiting for me to get to it while I work on the "big one". Here are a few things that have been on the back burner. Above, another rufous hummer, since I enjoyed making Melinda's so much. We've got a pair of cardinals nesting in our front hedge, so these are in honor of the proud parents-to-be. And this is a skirt made from recycled silk and cashmere sweaters. It's about a size 8 (misses). I hope to get to another skirt today. But I also need to mow the lawn and waterproof my market tent...so we'll see what I can get to.

This hat is a SMALL size. A one-of-a-kind, handmade hat made by Master Felt Artist with recycled silks NUNO FELTED SILK ABSTRACTS Each abstract is a felted fusion of many silks and ultra fine merino wool. This felting process, known as Nuno Felting, is the arduous process of working the wool fibers through the weave of the silks. This migration of the wool through the silks creates a web that "glues" the different silks together to form a new light fabric with brilliant colors. Silks included are recycled silk, sarees from India, hand dyed silk gauze, and hand dyed in my studio. Other embellishments may include bamboo threads, tussah silk threads, Angelina fibers, and raw silk straight from the cocoon. Integrating all of the above creates luminous color combinations and textures that are combined into abstracts, making each piece one of a kind on many levels!
