This shot was taken almost a week ago .... and nothing has really changed. There's still fibre all over the floor and the bench is covered in works in progress. I'm happy to report that a few more new pieces have joined the pile of completed work for the exhibition in April (details coming soon).
Next week is photography week so I'll be making a final push this weekend to complete the "really photogenic" projects to send the images off to the art gallery.
Please pray to the weather gods for good lighting conditions next week :)

happy valentine's day
Happy Valentine's Day to all :)
It's kind of apt that I'm in the middle of working on wire and fibre hearts for an upcoming exhibtion "home si where the heart is" (stay tuned for more details). The three above are my first prototypes, needlfelted with some gorgeous hand-dyed roving from Yummy Yarn. After needlefelting, the hearts are washed at hhigh temperature to "set" the design. The end result is a little like watercolour ... at least, that's what it looks like to me :)

yet more verse
In the beginning .... I dabbled.
I dabbled in a lot of strange things when I first opened my Etsy shop.
I also played around with a variety of different crafts and explored what I could do with my computer.
One of the results was A Series of Questionable Greetings Cards. Yes, there was a series.
The two runaway best sellers were Appalling Fridge Poetry featuring awesome, rude or plain unintelligible poetry culled from my fridge (from the fevered minds of myself and my sister), and the I Tried But It Died series which were simply a set of photographs of houseplants I had killed (all in colour).
I also 'published' a series of 'sentiments' cards "Thinking Of You" which were illustrated with images of cat poo, a mouldy dead fish, and a withered flower.
All cards were very simple cardstock with my photographs stuck to the front, plus a plain white envelope. They were way back in the beginning of my crafting time ... until a few weeks ago when I got a request to remake the fridge poetry set again ... so here they are!
PS: I do requests :)
