Happy Valentine's Day!

This is a punch needle work of a couple of lovebirds.

 

Hope you have a lovely day with lots hugs & kisses.

I have been playing around

I have been playing around with some new creations.  I do love working with wool -- dyeing, felting, hand-stitching. 

I decided that I would take a break from punch needle for a while and make a few bunnies.

I usually send a small handmade thank-you item to people who purchase my creations.  This bunny was what started a bunny explosion in my studio.

Funny, bunnies really do multiply!

 After I made about 5 other little bunny heads, I moved on to this little prim rabbit.

He was so fun to create.  I even played with lightly grudging him for a worn, well-loved appearance.

I imagine him going off a-courting with his plump carrot.  As I said, bunnies do multiply and he wants to do his part.

Next, I thought I would show a little valentine-y thank you item I made with some wool.  I tucked a small box of conversation hearts inside.

 I also did finish two punch needle works.  I'll show them soon. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Fourth of July!

Just popping by to wish you a great 4th with lots of family, friends, and fun.

Little Red Barn & Farm

My latest project... A teeny tiny Barn & Farm.  

Some of you are aware that I adore working with wool.  I really love it.  And, I seem to be enchanted by smallness.  The scale of my art is almost always tiny, anything over 8 inches is very rare.   

Lately, I have been itching to get back into needle punch.  All those thousands of teeny tiny loops are sooo me!  I have also been hand dyeing wool without any special projects in mind because I enjoy the process.

Well, my stash was over-flowing with so many wonderful supplies that I finally got back into using them instead of just admiring them.  (some you will know what I mean about that!)

 

I got busy needle punching, embroidering, stitching and engineering it all into this teeny tiny barn & farm.  There are sheep grazing, chickens scratching, crops growing in rows, a flag on the back of the barn, a picket fence -- so many details.  It was a lot of creative fun.

I'm already planning the next wool and needle punch project.

Thanks for visiting!
