I posted in the Snippets main blog about a class I took yesterday. This is a photo of my sampler that I began in class. I plan to keep working on it until it is a nice size for a chair mat. They work up quickly! The center is a standing wool coil, and the next layer is shirred. I am forming the coils into teardrops on the current outside edge. Who knows where it will go next!
This photo shows the bee skep that I am working on for JoEllen's beeskep tutorial. There will be three pieces made like this, and then joined to make a 3 dimensional bee skep with an additional circle for the bottom. I'm challenged with the contrast of the bees and might change them to light yellow. Just another of the projects that I'm working on!

Lauri,
ReplyDeleteI've done a few things with the standing wool, but for some reason when I saw yours I thought...how cool would it be to draw a simply paisley design and fill it with the standing wool pieces.....INSPIRED!
That coiled wool looks SO interesting! I'm headed over to read more about it!
ReplyDeleteGood grief, Lauri. You're one busy woman. How many projects do you have going at any one time? I had my hook-in at Judy's on Saturday but just spent the rest of the weekend resting. It was nice. And you were right....going to the hook-in really made me feel inspired again.

How many projects at any given time? Probably 8 - 10, not counting gardens. Right now I'm off to finish painting a hutch! And that isn't even on my list!
