CrackerJack 2010


My first sale: CrackerJack 2010. What an honour and a pleasure to have participated amongst some seriously great artisans, artists and craftspeople.

All that preparation was well worth my while. I appreciated the feedback, the chance to meet with old and dear friends and to share my nuno felting art process. What a great learning experience on this artisan journey I find myself continuing on.

Now, back to the studio.

Out in the world







I cropped some imagery to give myself an idea of what colour relationships people enjoy adorning their bodies with. Since the summer, I have released 9 scarves into the wild.




















Inspired by this lovely lady, the naming of the scarves happened at a craft night in a yurt on Salt Spring. They are:

Snow Walker
Radiant Comet
Fire Tree
Whispy Fanfare
Undersea Rosegarden
Birdpath
Indigo Lagoon
Summer Storm
Coral Dragon

Ecsquisite jacquard.






A beautiful memory from the summer. This couch lived upstairs in all its art nouveau revival gorgeousness. Thank you, William Morris.

Craft Bazaar: check!





Piled on a clothes dryer, the scarves for the Craft Bazaar and for the upcoming show in West Vancouver, CrackerJack. The lighting that evening was picturesque, so I stepped outside for some photos.

Also rustled up some felted soap that I made in summer and painted the tosies on the paper mache bathtub I made for display purposes.

The sale at Mahon hall was a success! lots of good feedback and a great opportunity to meet more of the kind folk that dwell on this beautiful little island.

Craft Bazaar!

I'm excited to participate in a 'not so average' craft bazaar at Mahon Hall on Salt Spring this weekend. See you there!
