and these are the same canvases after a glaze has been put on. i used the "wrong" type of paint for some of them, so it came out a little thick, i'm hoping they are salvageable... if not, i can paint 'em white and start over!

A new class... painting this time with Paulette Insall http://pauletteinsall.typepad.com/my_weblog/ I've admired Paulette's work for a while so when the opportunity to take a class with her came up, i just had to take it! I have little to no painting experience, so i'm trying to keep my expectations realistic!

nuno felted scarf






ok, probably too many pictures for one scarf! I took a nuno felting class at New England Felting Supply in Easthampton, MA with Jean Gauger. We had a great time, learned a lot, and everyone's scarf was so different. I love my scarf, it's light and airy and there were surprise colors at the end with the bright green felting through to the back.

We got to see some of Jean's work up close and personal... Amazing stuff!! And Christine White, one of the owners of NEFS, also had some gorgeous pieces out and her book on felting, Uniquely Felt is very thorough, and beautiful to look at, and has lots of fun ideas and projects.

thank you Judi!!!
