Felt and Soul: October 2013
http://feltandsoul.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 23, 2013. I've been a bit preoccupied with natural dyeing this summer and going into fall. I love using local plants and extracting the dye from them and getting them to print onto textiles. I've been printing on linen, cotton, silk and wool. I've also been using repurposed silk and linen garments to print on. And some new socks. Aren't these fun? Above is sumac and wild sunflowers. I love how sometimes the sumac has lavender color tones to it. My son is a film student and is taking a ...

Felt and Soul: July 2012
http://feltandsoul.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 27, 2012. Summertime.and the livin' is ea- -. We are in a horrible heat spell. still. We are all drinking out of the hose when we go outside. So far, we are managing the heat. The only way to manage it is with water. On and in the bodies. I have been blessed with a little helper this summer. He is a hard worker and turning into an alpaca whisperer! Drinking out of the hose is one of the fun things about summer. And being a kid in the country. Yeah, a funk. I've been spending alot of time...

Felt and Soul: Tequilla Sunrise
http://feltandsoul.blogspot.com/2013/07/tequilla-sunrise.html
Friday, July 12, 2013. Tequilla Sunrise is the name of this tunic I made for the fashion show at Midwest. It is wet felted wool on silk in the nuno felt technique. I used up cycled silk for the trimming and vintage bakelite buttons. The china silk and silk gauze were dyed by me. I am pleased with how this one turned out, too. The name came after the dyeing. Remember in the 80's, ok! Dating some of us! When a tequilla sunrise was a fashionable drink? Doesn't the color remind you of one? About Felt and Soul.

Felt and Soul: May 2013
http://feltandsoul.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 3, 2013. If It Weren't For Bad Luck. I feel I wouldn't have any luck at all! And I still don't. But life sometimes catches up with you. And not only taps you on the shoulder but knocks you down with a 2 x 4. During my healing time the past couple of weeks I have been doing some knitting. See that cute, cute hood? It took an entire day picking up the stitches for it and the button band. I'm not kidding! I put horn buttons down the front. And it has useful front pockets for busy little hand...

Felt and Soul: February 2013
http://feltandsoul.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 8, 2013. I'd like to introduce "Maya". She is Aztec's daughter and. She was born on Jan 2 (yes, an unplanned birth. I thought I bred Aztec for a Dec 1 baby but obviously she was bred during one of the boy break. I was having flashbacks to it during the night. You. When I took her back out to the barn in the morning, Aztec's lip curled up when she saw me. The two of them have been together ever since. Happy and healthy. Thank goodness! It would lift my spirits. Thanks. About Felt and Soul.

Felt and Soul: March 2013
http://feltandsoul.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 17, 2013. That was a great band I enjoyed in my youth. Maybe you remember them? If not, look them up on youtube sometime. I've been working on a little feet myself. I've been doing some sock knitting in various sizes. They are nice, portable projects. And little feet like to wear them. Even if grandma doesn't like to waste yarn and makes them so they don't match exactly! Talk to you soon, Tammy. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). About Felt and Soul.

Felt and Soul: June 2012
http://feltandsoul.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 29, 2012. It seems this week that I have been climbing constantly. Climbing out of the clean-up hole that I am in. Going to Midwest Fiber and Folk Art Fair was so much fun! The color, the inspiration, the atmosphere itself. The feeling was wonderful to be surrounded, for 3 days, by people who knew what you were talking about. My hubby said he thought it was cool when I started talking 'fiber' with the other people. It can be a language all in itself. And they got it. Talk to you soon, Tammy.

Saturday, December 31, 2011. Look at them. Aren't they beautiful? Look at the chocolate alpacas, too. All the detail. Well, They Gotta Go! I mean it people. Go. Why, you ask? Each morning, I eat at least three cookies after breakfast with my coffee. And the big but is- - - - The BIG BUTT! I can't go on eating that many. So you may see a little Christmas angel giving them away. Talk to you soon, Tammy. Tuesday, December 27, 2011. Percy, shown left, is growing into a gorgeous boy! Again, I digress. I could...
