Rubber and Glass

I have been playing with beads again. I should be up in my loom room as I do have t-shirt strips just waiting to be warped onto my loom. One of these days!

For now beads are winning out, how can I resist these bright neon rubber beads.

I will always be fascinated with clear hollow glass, it makes my heart sing!

Pink Copper Tutus

I got some new beads in the mail yesterday, always a big thrill for me. I fought the urge for months to buy Lucite beads, it goes against my grain, they aren't very natural, not so earthy, but their prettiness got me in the end. Look how pretty they are, like little pink tutus...

I do love the pink with the copper, soft and pretty!

Needle Felting and Pearls

I have been playing with roving and my felting needles. I am getting pretty good at making round balls, for beads. I have combined felted beads with pearls to make this necklace. It is fun to combine fiber arts with jewelry, two different media.

Needle Felted Beads and a Felted Wool Rug

I was away from home earlier this week, had a bout of cabin fever as well as an appointment in the city. Always nice to get into a little civilization, lunch out with my sister and niece, and then shopping!! I went to a friends knitting and weaving shop and bought  some new felting needles, some coloured roving and a few felting books. I love earthy tones but what a treat to use some colour. 

After a little playing around I finally figured out how to make a round felt bead(ball). I made quite a few in between my dinner prep on my last day at my sisters. Pure fun!!

Last night I was playing around with different ideas on how to use these little felt beads. This is what I came up with, the same idea as with my pebble necklaces. Funky little blasts of colour!! I quite like it!!

This is the last felted wool sweater rug I wove last week. Kind of the same colours as the runner I wove earlier, but this one has more grey in it. I used some of the leftovers from the runner. I must say I did get some gorgeous colours in this load of sweaters.
