Renegade Craft Fair

Adrienne Patrick and I are sharing a spot at the Renegade Craft Fair this year! The Renegade Craft Fair is the best of it's kind, by far.  I've been going for years as a visitor, and now we are part of it. Adrienne will be selling her wonderful creations made from all recycled materials, and I will have my felt creations, Children's Book prints, and necklaces.

There is food available, all kinds of arts and crafts, and it runs two whole days. Be sure to go check it out, and come by our tent to say hi!

We are booth 51 (See below).

Mr. Finchenheimer

After making the finch illustration I decided to make Mr. Finchenheimer as a felt sculpture.

Geahk Burchill - Marionettes

I just HAD to share this video with you. This man is such an amazing, wonderful artist.

Fairy Garden

A wonderful friend of mine came up with the idea of building fairy gardens from things we found in nature. We each brought whatever we could find in parks and on the streets around us, we also brought a glue gun, clippers, glass jars, and some sheep wool and we started building. Here are a few of the gardens that came out of our creative endeavor.

The magazine is beautiful and the picture of the pastries/petit fours too.
Thank you karin!

NYC Toy Fair Interview

I was invited to do a needle felting demonstration at the Toy Fair in NYC. Needle felting is my new addiction. I make character illustrations first and then spend my evenings sculpting them out of wool.

I am also contemplating a way to incorporate my mushroom girls/gnome ladies into a book.

A friendly journalist from the online magazine TDMonthly came by and asked if he could do a quick interview. The sculptures are available on FeltForest.

Mushroom Ladies

My new needle felted creations.

Marzipan Madness

I love Marzipan, I love turquoise, red, and cream. My friend thought of me when she came across these marzipan creations by Design team Eugene & Louise in collaboration with Tinne Hermans for an exhibit in Antwerp, my home town.

The third handmade gift is a guardian angel for two dear friends.
