Fiber Therapy

Good for the soul, good for our health.  All that wool, another idea...

Felting is not my specialty...can you teach an old dog new tricks...is it worth the bother?...  maybe it's just fiber therapy.  At least it gets me away from the computer for a little while and off the loom.  Fiber is fun and I certainly can't spin all that I've got stored away. 

First attempt yesterday, not exactly to my liking, 

but very organic...

Today, I changed my technique 

and mastered uniformity and delicacy...

Now, I'm not sure about durability or practicality, but it seems that's what is sometimes the style.  After all, I make very delicate lattice scarves on the loom.  Who's to say?  I'm still contemplating some finishing touches, but the simplicity is growing on me the more I play with them and shape them.  What do you think? 

Fresh Hints of Spring

Do you feel it yet?  I'm trying to get in the spirit of lighter layers and colors.  New Lattice Scarves are just off the loom for Spring and Summer.  Some days the air is hopeful and seems warmer.  The daffodils and crocuses are cropping up despite the snow showers to soak up the sun. Think of May flowers to come.  Soon...
