Hey there! I'll be at the creative Hands Craft Market at the Greenbank Middle school tomorrow from 9:30-3pm.

This is this event's 31st year and I can't wait to be part of it tomorrow.
Etsy Made in Canada was a wild wonderful show full of wonderful artists and artisans. The aisles were really wide and it was still hard to get through the crowds that came. I met lovely people and made lots of connections.
this was my first show using suitcases and a steamer trunk as my display. I LOVED them!! I brought them in....opened them and voila! There was my booth all set up
(ok...I still have to tweak the extras I kept adding!)
My goodness! It's been almost 2 months since I blogged last! Part of that was spent helping out on my friends feature film shoot up at Sunrise Lodge on Baptiste Lake north of Bancroft.
It was crazy busy and I don't really know how I fed all those people all that time! I became a fearless cook...throwing things together to make giant suppers. thanks to Hilary and Greg for thinking I could do it! And I did!
So now I'm back and felting up a storm! Come on down to the Finch Arena this Friday and Saturday for the International Plowing Match Quilt competition and show.
I'm proud to be a part of this creepy horror film that my friends Hilary and Greg are creating. Here's a link to their Indigogo site. Contribute if you can and most definitely spread the word!
Today I taught 6 lovely women how to nuno felt. We were at the Stone School Gallery in Portage du Fort Quebec. Lovely renovated stone building! We used silk chiffon scarves that I dyed beforehand. Check out the link below for more information about the School...they have wonderful workshops throughout the summer and it's a lovely drive up there.
As I traveled in my career in animation, I gleaned an acute awareness of the tactile nature of textiles. I took many classes in embroidery, pottery, batik, bead stringing and making
and finally in Berlin I found the art of felt making. In 2002 I made the decision to focus less on my animation career and more on my fibre art path. I have continued to explore all the joys and trials of being a fibre artist, but I do jump back in to animation when something wonderful comes along. I worked on the Universal feature "Curious George" in 2005 and on "The Princess and the Frog" which is a Disney feature and was released in December 2009.
I continue to try out new things, taking a wire sculpture course in Haliburton ON a couple years ago and just recently learnimg the art of Rug Hooking. Punch needle is a new obsession, but, even though I bore easily and try many different things, I seem to always come back to needle felting. It’s just sooooo versatile!
