I'm not even sure this blog is active.<br />
<br />
As you may remember, I transitioned from felting to painting.<br />
<br />
I am now FASCIA. I would like to let everyone know my new blog. If you are still all out there, please give me a comment so I can get you over to the new "me".<br />
<br />

<br />
There is a change coming within me and it started with incorporating healing foods into my diet. <br />
<br />
Another ia a creativity change. This is a slow process. I feel I have to "clear out" my creative mind of all the myriads of interests: beads, fabric, thread, fiber, wool, sculpey, weaving....it's all to much to hold. I have accepted that I am capable of holding all of these within me AND it's time to go for one..just ONE because I am getting nowhere and the urgency is there and I must speak to it.<br />
<br />
While I was in Las Vegas, I found a wonderful artist, ANJA. I saw her work in several galleries in the hotels. Her name is Anja Van Herle..<br />

You have to go to her website to view these images and so many more. The paintings are acrylic and are huge! I saw them as I was walking by and had to go in every time. What draws me is the faces - she<br />
frequently uses my hairstyle - and I love the clean lines and those EYES! <br />

I go every year and thoroughly enjoy myself. </b><br />
<b><br /></b><br />
<b>I went Saturday morning - a whole lot of other people went too - my Gosh!!!!!! The indoor pavillion was chock full of vendors and buyers. It was hard to get a good look at everything being offered. As usual, many women sported things they had made and as usual, many women were walking around knitting - they didn't manage to bump into anyone either!</b><br />
<b><br /></b><br />
<b>I haven't felted in awhile, as I have said, and was sad that I wasn't inspired by all the color...the wool, the yarn, etc. I bought some hand dyed wool pieces, though. There was a new vendor and she was selling squares of wool (like fabric) for embellishing. She cut pieces out of the wool and embroidered them on another piece. This was different and totally doable.</b><br />
<b><br /></b><br />
<b>As the day wore on and I went home, the magic happened!!! YIPEEEE - I got the bug again. Sooooo, I went back Sunday morning (nice Mother's Day beginning fo rme) and bought a few things. I'll tell you about these in my next post.</b><br />
<br />
BUT I JUST HAVE TO SHOW YOU THE PICTURES OF THE SHEEP!!<br />

<b>I've almost finished physical therapy after my car accident March 7th - seems so long ago. I've had a wonderful therapist who does a technique called, Counterstrain. I am still in pain - but I always am from chronic pain condition. I feel so much better though and this week I have been fully participating in my Movement Therapy classes with deaf children with disabilities. I've also taken two dance classes - JOY, JOY!</b><br />

We'll see about this becuase...<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">THIS WEEKEND IS THE SHEEP AND WOOL FESTIVAL IN HOWARD COUNTY, MARYLAND</span>. It is time for my annual trip. Since I haven't been felting, I doubt I'll buy any roving. But there is so much more there - buttons, yarn, etc. etc. Of course, there are sheep and of course there are those darn stands selling lamb kabobs....I hate that....just don't see why people don't make the connection between "oh, look how cute" to "give me a big leg and a coke".<br />
<br />
So, we'll see if the felting bug gets to me..........in fact, I may just felt something today - oops, see there it is - ahhhhhhhhhhh, wool.Fascia Berlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12944331328308437942noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8075307224261569158.post-89427786587731769032011-04-26T19:07:00.000-04:002011-04-26T19:07:38.162-04:00Oh, Sweet DoveI've taken a real break from my blog, creating and Etsy. After my car accident, somehow I kept losing my "umph"! Then last week I went to Vermont to visit my daughter, her husband and my two sweet grandsons. I came away without the terrible colds they had and without too many aches. I feel quieter, healthier and certainly loved.<br />
<br />
I think I needed a total break - you know those times when you just want to walk away from almost everything. I haven't gone into my artroom for quite some time. Our local sheep and wool festival is coming in two weeks - I always come home with oodles of roving..we'll see this time. I'm also working on changing my eating habits - had a wonderful cooking lesson while in Vermont - I am finally going to take care of myself and feel deserving of it - ahhh, there's the crux.<br />
<br />
So, since there is nothing creative from myself to show you....<br />
<br />
Yesterday morning I was in the backyard letting Buster the Beagle do his thing. I saw what seemd to be a Mother/Daughter act. One big dove and a smaller one sitting on my fence - they were quiet. Then, I looked down and saw a broken robin's egg - so blue. Then I went to get into the car and saw the same small dove perched ontop of it. I rushed upstairs and got my camera.<br />
<br />
I took a picture from the porch stems of my townhouse and then walked closer - he didn't move - I took another picture. Here they are....<br />

I got a custom order to needle felt one - well, he/she went through many stages before evolving into a frog. I thought they were supposed to start as tadpoles - mine went through a gorilla stage - something to do with his rear end.<br />
<br />
Anyway, after consulting a huge book of frogs I just happen to have, I came up with this guy/gal. The request came from a Mom who had bought a sheep from me at a crafts fair two years ago. Seems their dog got to it and messed up some of the wool. I fixed him and she ordered a frog and a moose. <br />
Holy Smokes, can't wait to see what stages the moose will go through.<br />
<br />
Here are some photos I just took - I almost hate to give him up.<br />

<b>So, here it is when FINISHED: I have had the flower for quite some time - was going to make a pin out of it, I think. I wanted to make something springy and a smaller wall hanging than the previous ones I've made. It took me quite some time to work on this - I would wake up in the middle of those wee hours and get ideas and then during the day, I would work on it some more, then try different things and think some more. Finally, I got it! </b><br />

<b><br /></b><br />
<b>Here is one that was made with orange wool - probably Merino - as the base with Mohair (I believe) wool locks laid ontop. All was wet felted. There are bits of very course fabric like fibers and a strand of art yarn (shiny and ladder like) also thrown in. I attached a large wet felted/needle felted and embellished flower and a needle felted doo dad.</b><br />
<b><br /></b><br />
<b>The piece is 19" long and about 9" at it's widest.</b><br />

<b>The other piece was also wet felted and began as red and light yellow - lovely Merino wool. However, beautiful as it was - it reminded me of a pizza - too mch sauce and mozzarella. So, I sat myself down and began to make it more like the piece above.</b><br />
<b><br /></b><br />
<b>I have two other big previously made flowers in just the right colors. I have them pinned on the piece as they may move, of course. This piece has two tendrils hanging from the top - I cut holes in the felt and threaded one cord in from the back. I stuck a fabric bead on there just to see how it looks. </b><br />

This is one of those original PODS. In my "wild abandon" mood, I added a round Felted to the basic pod shape. I attached a Nuno Felted piece of cheesecloth to it. I'm usually not a bow person, but it's funky enough not to be frilly.<br />
<br />
Then I got into my paints again in turquoise, green and yellow and kept working until I "<i><b>felt</b></i>" it was just right. See, I hardly ever plan on what I'm going to do next. Sometimes that gets me into trouble - most of the time, not. I'm lucky for sure.<br />
<br />
I had this previously felted cord which just happened to be in the right colors so I attached it. Now that took a bit of doing because I did it last - here's where the trouble could have been. So, since that bow ubstructed where I wanted the cord to go, I just got out my turquoise embroidery thread and stitched and knotted it as I went. NO hiding the stitching for me.<br />
<br />
I had two fabric beads which just happened to fit over the cord - phew! Oh, I made them.<br />
<br />
The bow is so soft - nothing like nuno felting. The back of it is really nice because you see the white cheesecloth with little colored fibers coming through!<br />

I found Mimu when I joined Fiber Arts/Mixed Media. It's a wonderful site filled with artists, my own page, online classes, challeneges (I even won once) their own radio broadcast and much more. It's such an inspiration as is this lovely lady.alwa Mimu is always generous with her praise for other artists. <br />

She lives in Nartick, Ma and has a variety of talents.<br />
<br />
Let me jump in with just SOME of the creations I most love.<br />
<br />

The COLOR, the workmanship! I know Mimu works with an embellisher (machine) and by hand to add all these different pieces to her creations.<br />

<br />
Yep, it's happening to me. I like to do too many things - it's great - don't get me wrong - but it's terrible - don't get me wrong. Being creative is not easy. Just before I fully wake up in the morning, ideas come marching in....Are they always about felting? No and that could be the problem.<br />
<br />
I love to felt - but I also love to do so many other things - use other things....like those QTips I used in my wallhanging...<br />

To attached the yarn, I put holes in the Pod and brought the ends through and tied them. See those nice fiber beads? I had fun with these. The top on I painted little flowers on and the ends. The one on the bottom is a previous piece I had quiltied and done some needle felting on. I painted on that , also. There are the two hanging beads. I took head pins and strung the seed beads on and put a big one on the bottom, did a bit of glueing and bending of the bottom of the wire.</span></td></tr>

<b>Of course, there's a bird feather from a collection I have - any idea who it's from? I don't.</b>Fascia Berlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12944331328308437942noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8075307224261569158.post-36467602832872883512011-03-01T06:27:00.000-05:002011-03-01T06:27:40.704-05:00Energetic Organic Pods<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Last week I was in a felting frenzy. I just had to get my hands in fiber, soap and hot water. I call myself a "felter" so you think I would be doing it every day. This is not the case as there are other things in my life such as working two days a week, working out and feeling too pooped to pop, as they say. I also have a few projects that have nothing to do with felting such as the "pods" you see below.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For me, felting takes a certain mindset and amount of energy. I have Fibromyalgia and Myofascial Pain Syndrome. It is under control for sure and I'm used to pain. However, there are those times when putting the physical energy forth is a bit much - it is those moments that I turn to embellishing or thinking of new projects.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These "organic pods" came from a burst of energy and the itching to be close to wool. Even though the wool roving is dyed, it still can smell like wool - you know, sheepy. I love it. I wanted to use some new roving from LivingFelt. I got a nice package which included green and sort of a teal blue. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now, for the "pods"</div>

Hope you enjoyed this.

The wool I used, Merino, is wonderfully colored. The <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">greens</span> when mixed with the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: cyan;">blue</span> is gorgeous - the blue, as you can see, is turquoise. I did use two different colors of green - the lighter one gives off a bit of yellow.<br />
<br />
One of my favorite materials to work with is Tussah Silk - I took slivers and placed them among the wool when wet felting. The silk won't felt, but the wool fibers grab it. Sometimes I just throw the fibers in the mix, so to speak, not thinking where they will show and this is what happened here. <br />
When you peak inside to make your wish you see what looks like strains of real gold. This is how it looks on the outside, too. But it's fun to look for treasure in the bottom. You just never know. <br />
<br />
Wet felting is so amazing because I never know exactly how something is going to turn out.<br />
This bowl lended beautiful ridges which I further defined with my needle felting needle. I also added swirls of green, blue, yellow and light green Tussah silk needle felting them onto the piece. <br />
<br />
I have mentioned before that I am not a fan of beading but I love how it looks - the sparkle of the beads against the dullness of the wool. So on one side I put three clusters of seed beads - for THREE WISHES!<br />
<br />
This Pot O Gold is 4 1/2" in diameter and a little over 2" high. The opening is a little over 2" also.<br />

About 6 years ago, I took 2 years of pottery at a school ot far from my home. Every Wednesday morning, I would don my worse clothes and head up the hill to the Frederick Pottery School. We started with the usual centering a glob of big round "mud" on the wheel. <br />
<br />
Having Fibromyalgia did not help me - bending over grabbing this huge hunk of clay which already had taken me too much time to soften and punch the holes out and trying to center it - faster, go faster - and there it goes...onto the floor! A baker, I am not (an eater of baked goods, I am). I met some wonderful men and women and we all had our various successes.<br />
<br />
I did make a set of plates and bowls. There were more accidents than you can imagine and lots of laughs. I soon found that out of accidents, come the most interesting objects. A vase gone wrong (and there were plenty of them turned into something lovingly weird) A bowl gone wrong was even better.<br />
<br />
Throwing a plate or platter was easy for me, I just threw it away. <br />
<br />
Then there was slab work - rolling out clay into any type of shape you wanted - pizza anyone? This was it for me - here I found what I was good at. I love vines and tendrils and odd shapes and something no one else has done.<br />
<br />
My love of animals took me to make what I think are the most incredible other wordly and sweet creatures.<br />
<br />
I am going to show you two pictures - quicky taken - the animals will come later.<br />

I incorporated, fair trade yarn, focal beads from my local bead store, used purple thread I bought at the ReStore in Barre Vermont, and small paper beads made by a former Etsy Seller.<br />
<br />
We just got back from another trip to Vermont on Sunday and I promptly got an intestinal upset. So, I've been laying low but felt like finishing this bowl since when I arrived home, I found the beads awaiting. I also wanted to use the pretty purple thread from the ReStore.<br />
<br />
The ReStore is one of those places that has everything from appliances to dental supplies that some company had no use for - you know, I tried to think what to do with them. I did buy some uphostery fabric swatches and some beads and of course, bubble wrap. Every time I go there, I see more "stuff" for art projects. But since we go to see my daughter so often, I don't feel the "better grab it" syndrome.<br />
<br />
Here is the bowl just listed on Etsy.<br />

This is another 4 inch bowl. You can see that I felted some of the fair trade yarn in it so it sticks out. I also shaved the bowl to get off the excess fuzzies. The inside has some white which may have added to that.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today I ran a length of the yarn with the paper beads (beautifully done) and affixed it to the front with the purple yarn. Then I added the focal bead - which moves. I photographed on my Great Grandmother's needlepointed thingamagig - it's not a piellowand has some little pellets inside (which, of course, are coming out now). But doesn't it go well with the bowl?</div>
