My Version of the Starbucks Yarn Ball Wreath

Frankly, I drink so much of their coffee they should have sent me one, gratis.

Of course, I had helpers.

Another Landscape. From a photo.

A Landscape: The woods of Raton, New Mexico to be exact. Can you see it?

Abstract #2

We were given a long list of words to use as objects in our paintings: Here are some of the words I used: Hat, cellophane, stars, flower, map, braid, vine, numbers, fireworks, and eyeglasses. Some of those items are in the first layer of the painting and were painted over.

Abstract Number 1

Comment during the critique: "I liked it better before lunch."
My comment to Ali later: "I'm not the best in the class."
Her response: "How can you tell?"
Actually, I liked it better before lunch too. I was thinking too much after lunch.

Recycled Sweater Bag

Bought a wool sweater from Goodwill, felted (ruined) it in the washer, hacked off the sleeves, widened the neck and sewed up the bottom - Shazam! A bag!

Full o' groceries

Kevin approves.

Completed Jumper!

I can hardly believe I made this all by myself!

Felted Sweater Jumper

Felt-o-rama!

A successful first try! I need to work on my shaping, this is a hat pattern, with two handles sewn on, but overall, I am very pleased.

Before the wash: After the wash:
Can I fit in that?
