Rkia's Flower Garden

My girlfriend Rkia made up some flowers for the ALS show from handmade felt. They are gorgeous!!!...colors are much prettier in person and her attention to detail is impeccable!!!

Mixed Media Nuno Scarves!!! Ready for the ALS Show...except one :)

The one that Debby chose as her Cyber Monday Prize!!!...

Mixed Media Nuno Scarves....

Just a sampling of what I've been working on lately. Renew, recycle, reuse.  These scarve are accented with reclaimed silk fabrics from scarves and clothing and a little bit from my scrap pile.  It's still a nuno, on a base of featherweight chiffon fabric, but I laminated additional silk treasures on top creating a super crinkly effect.  I'm really enjoying this technique and love that I can reclaim the remaining silk from a scarf with a hole, or a blouse with a stain.

2 Hands Market was very nice show!!

I had a great time at the market...I would definately do another show with this group.  The event was well organized and advertised.

Esther's finished totebag

Tuesday night at Northridge Knitters...Esther's first felted handbag is finished!!!  The whole group was super proud of her and Esther couldn't wait to show it off to her family and friends. 

Esther is finally done with her tote bag

I'm so proud of her!!!....I'm going to felt the bag for her soon...she's one of those Red Hatters...she wanted to put red straps on it and I said NO WAY!!!...it would ruin all the work she's done.  So up next...one for her Society events.

Trash to Treasure

Ok...I'm playing.  After a season of fiber project you end up with a bunch of little bits of fiber that are not worth organizing.  Throw them in a bag, sort them out by color scheme and turn some trash into treasure.  My trash to treasure fiber batts are always used on my felted soaps.
