Next week on Thursday I will be traveling to Barcelona for vacation with my family. I will come back with more unique creations in a month. Have a great Summer!

Vacation time and my new dresses

In two weeks I am going for vacation with my Family to Barcelona/ Spain, and Bulgaria. I love Europe and I am excited about our trip. I will keep my friends up to date when I have chance to get to a computer. Lately I have been overwhelmed with so many ideas of things i would like to make-scarves , vessels, dresses....Yesterday I decided to take a bit of time and make a dress for myself. I started the dress with that idea, but of the end it was my daughter's dress and I had to make another one for myself. I completed the last of the hand stitching this morning and now both of us have new dresses for our Family trip.

This is my dauhter's dress front and back

Then comes my own dress

The lace is made from my mother in law meny years ago, love it! I enjoy sewing clothing, but felting is my new passion.

My workshop with Andrea Graham

I had a wonderful time creating vessels with Andrea Graham last weekend. It was one day vessels workshop and Andrea is very kind and friendly person.She is proffessional canadian Feltmaker and great teacher. I learned lots of new techniques and would love to go again to one of her workshops. The workshop was in Odessa, Ontario and there I met nice people with passion for felt.

 And here is my work in progress

and the final result- the piece made by me, my first vessel

It looks like a Hobbit House to me. Love it! Thank you Andrea!

We are just few days away from  the Show. I am almost ready with my new Spring/Summer Collection of felted scarves and necklaces/accessories. I will post few of my last creations, if you would like to see more, come to the Made by hand show. I will be very happy to see all of you there.

All of the scarves are made from 50/50 merino 15 micron, and mulberry silk fibres. Very soft, delicate and airy. The fibres are from Australia, hand dyed from Jacinta. The scarves and the accessories are handmade by me. All of them are One-of-a-kind. Visit my Booth # 139 at madebyhandshow.com

Coffee Beans

This is my last creation for this week. I named it Coffee Beans because of the colour. The scarf is nuno- felted with 50/50 Australian merino wool 15 microns and mulberry silk. So soft and silky, you can wear it even in the Summer. Also is decorated with small felted balls and wool/bamboo yarn. Fabulous!

 Jacinta, a textile artist, who dyes wool and silk fibres in beautiful colours, named the silk/merino roving Grace. She gave me the inspiration to create this romantic, soft and very light nuno felted scarf.
