What Do You Think ?

Is Marc Jacobs MAD?

I get it, it's runway.

But hmmm

I don't like the hats.

They're distracting.

You might not have even noticed

how cute this felted capelet is!

...and the crochet...

do you like it?

...look past the hat...

I don't hate crochet, just not the sparkle.

I LOVE GIANT KILT PINS!

But here, I draw the line!

and will NOT cross it!

I was forced to sell this eyelashy crap yarn @ STITCH

It killed me then, and it kills me now!

It's gross.

PERIOD.THE.END.

Sorry Marc.

Just my opinion. What do y'all think?

Whoooo Do You Love ?

~ SEWNnatural Etsy ~

...I love this little felted owl and...

...these tiny little acorns...

In the mood for felting after this weekend at the Knitting show!

I got some handspun curly mohair with tiny beads.

What in the world will I do with that? hmm

Woolie Little Crush . . .

I think these would make the sweetest little

somethin'-somethin' for a nursery.

...used in a garland maybe...

ADORE!

Tiny Baubles . . .

I have a major quilt crush!

The baubles on the edges remind me to

get busy on my felted balls for the quilt for my chaise

before my new chairs get here!

Ok, I just saw this ~ bag ~ on ~ JunkGardenGirl ~

from a ~ Polyvore Page ~ 

Immediate Crush!

It is, however, nearly $700!

...So here's what I'm thinking...

I'm going to use my 

~ Stitch Poet "In A Clutch" pattern ~

and needle felt the animal print!

It will look sorta like this ~ Stitch Poet "Cootie Shot" pattern ~ 

but this one is a tiny little bag (more like a wallet) and the animal

print is bigger. This one uses the Fair Isle knitting technique.

I love the tiny print on the bag posted by Mulberry 

and I think it will be pretty easy to create 

with needle felting on a solid clutch! 

You make one too! Need a Pattern?

..Strong Felt is her work..

..amazing work..

Today I was browsing around and while on one of my new favorite ~ tumblrs, ~ I spotted familiar work and knew at once it was Lisa Klakulak! I will never forget the first time I saw her creations.  My husband and I were in Asheville, NC for a weekend getaway and while I was taking my dear sweet time in a yarn shop, my husband made his way down the street.  When I finally emerged from the yarn shop, he was on the opposite side of the street leaning on a parking meter waiting on me.  He yelled, "Champ, cross over...you're gonna die!"  He was right, when he took me in the gallery and lead me to this amazing installation on one wall...I almost died...in fact I started crying.  My husband thought I'd lost my mind, but it was truly the most amazing hand felted "wonders" that I had ever seen.  Please visit her website and see for yourself. Don't miss the handbags and clutches! They're miniature sculptures that I would never carry, only display in my home as rare treasures.  If you're a fiber artist, make sure you watch this ~ video ~ of Lisa at work!
