Nuno Felt Hat & Scarf

Summer certainly gets to be a busy time. Here are a few photos of a coordinated red Nuno felt hat and scarf I just completed and will be taking to 4 Ravens Gallery tomorrow.

Blue Felt Cat Pillow

One more kitty on its way to 4 Ravens Gallery. One of my favorite shades of blue with lovely silk flowers scattered over the surface.

Handmade Felt Cat Pillows

Shifting directions to complete some cat pillows to take into 4 Ravens Gallery in Missoula today. Two done and a third very nearly done. Enjoying adding some embroidery to the surface after felting.

Latest Felt Flower Light

I am pleased with my latest light. Each light is one of a kind and the whimsy is a bit different with each one.

Making Progress

Finally able to get some trim on a few new hats.

Lavender Sachets

I seem to be heavy into small project mode. Have a number of hats waiting for trim and I keep making little sachets. The heart sachets are made out of Nuno felt – a combination of hand dyed fine wool felted with silk fabric or fibers. Most of the kitty sachets are made from woolContinue reading “Lavender Sachets”
