Beth's Elephant

I've been teaching the students on my bus to use the French knitter. The first project is completed.

The elephant turned out so sweet. Many of the students on my school bus want to make projects with the french knitter.

They are going to have to wait until I return from a medical leave. One of their questions when I introducted them to the sub driver was, does he know about our knitting projects? I told them one of my first questions to Mr. Kurt was do you know how to knit and he said "no". And I added he doesn't even know how to french knit. They were disappointed.

Drawing used for the ...

Purple and Mauve purse. The actual purse is on the next post.

But, I have to take a break and work in my office today.

Purple & Mauve Purse in progress...

Working on a purse for Kathy in Dr. Lofstroms office. It's a gift for her mother.

Sandy at 212 mentioned that she'd like to see it. The color are actually bright and sparkly. Some where between the digital camera and the computer the color is washed out.

I took a flower from the lining and used it for the design on both front and back. I still have a ways to go.

Earth Challenge / Greeting Card

Each person entering the Earth Challenge, made a greeting card. That will be sold for $5.00, to raise money for Food Gathers.

Earth Challenge entries

The felted hats represent Planets, the manicans represent Space. "Earth, the New Prespective" is a book we used for inspiration, in creating our earth challenge piece.

At the beginning of each chapter is the planet earth, one for Fire, Earth, Air and Water.

The Earth challenge show goes up in Janurary 2010, at the Two Twelve Art Center.

Feedback from Sophie's mom

We heard that Sophie loves her Fairy door so much, that she didn't want to leave it to go to bed. She thought that because it appeared on her birthday, that it might disappear by the next day.

Her mother says that the fairy has not left her hand since she found it.

And, all her meals are eaten in front of the fairy door.

A Holly Kreag, beautiful, felted Pointsetta

This morning was 212 secret pilgrim gift exchange. I was so pleased to pick Holly's gift. I collect her pieces. She is the instructor at 212 that taught me so many felting techniques.
Thank you Holly.
Also, Kelsy at 212 picked my secret pilgrim gift, Watchful Spending.
