Fibre Art and More

I love weekends, time to relax, enjoy the kids and let the creative juices flow. I thought I would share with you a few pieces that I have  completed recently. Each one unique, and so much fun to make.

Remember in one of my previous posts how I had talked about stepping out of your comfort zone and trying something new. Well, before Christmas I started to play with wool roving, oh my what fun!! The sky truly is the limit with what you can create. Here is one of my pieces..

This one I incorporated wool roving and both machine and hand stitching.

I have since created 10 pieces and all but 2 have sold. So exciting. If you are wanting to take a class on this please see my class calendar.

Not only can you create pictures using wool roving, but you can also incorporate wool into a quilted picture. I had a piece of fabric lying around that had these two eagles on it so I thought I would try to incorporate wool into the body of the eagle and on the branches of the tree. Here is what I have done so far, I still have several more hours of quilting to go but it will be beautiful when complete.

Here is one of my thread play pieces. I have so much fun thread painting that hours can pass by and I don't even notice it. One of the volunteers at the cancer clinic where I work shared with me a picture he took when he and his wive went on a trip. Here is my reproduction of the image. Thanks Fred!

In two weeks I will be going for surgery which will then take approximately 3 months for me to recover. I hope that during that 3 months I will have the opportunity to get lots of thread painting done. I have been trying to get out as much as possible and snap photos so that I will have lots of images to inspire me. In the past couple of weeks the sunsets have been so incredible that I thought I would share with you some pics I have taken.

 Both of these photos have been completely unedited. It is truly amazing the photos you can take if you happen to be outside at the right time.
