continues in between days of heavy showers - this time on a beach in Nairn.
How I love this spaciousness! Again, not doing much, just being - and thinking about (the right) balance,
while watching the girls enjoying their last day of holidays. Yes, Watching!!! Less work as they grow. I love this age when they still [...]

Hallo, dear all!
We are home again! We had a great great time in Slovakia, a lot of sun, splashing, swimming, being in the nature, wherever we went there were many children so I hardly knew that I have mine with me, they all played nicely together. Everybody spoiled us, only after coming home I realized [...]

It is that time of a year when we go for holidays - far away or just some miles away… We go home - from home. If home is where the love is then we have got at least two homes, here in Scotland and there in Slovakia.
But before we go I will show [...]

I was experimenting a little bit with different edges I could create when felting. This is just a little sample where the orange fibre is laid horizontaly and the white fibre verticaly.
And this is a finished scarf (is there any other name for something like this?). The edges are floppy and there is a double [...]

I have been carding the wool I dyed. First I tried hand carders, but it seemrf neverending plus I wasn´t happy with little batts I would was getting. I wished to have slivers again so that I could easily pull wisps of fibres. I would not have been carding unless I have met such a generous artist and [...]

Believe me or not I have been as excited (and impatient) as you to see this finished. And it is here, I have made it!!! I am as happy as the colour of this jacket looks happy! So here you can see my first felted jacket in full glory :). It is made [...]

Thank you very much to all of you for your encouragement! Uh, I need it when I see so much wool to be felted.
The batts which you can see here are cca 200 g and yes, I have already felted all of them yesterday and today. But because it was partially felted it wasn’t sooo [...]

It is unusually sunny and warm up here in The Scottish Highlands and I am completely distracted from my creative work - it is too nice to be inside and there is quite a lot of work outside as well. Since I hurt my back and neck last week I haven’t been able to felt [...]

Dear Ladies!
Thank you all for coming here and your suggestions about the skirt especially! I find them very helpful. Maya, I like the idea of something floaty with a good drape and Kneek, yes, I am tempted to dye it. But I am still thinking…
I don’t have the right type of fabric at home and [...]

On Saturday I went to The Highlands Feltmakers Group in Dingwall together with Caroline. What a great day we had! We were felting along with other felt enthusiasts for good five hours. Caroline was making something so colorful and cute but I won’t tell you before she does on her blog.
I have tried nuno felting.
I [...]
