Autumn hydrangeas reflected in felted wool wraps


Now that's a wrap  - Sept 27
 Hi R
I know you showed these pieces a few days ago. 
They are beautiful! 
You said -
'What I love about felted wool is that it's a win, win situation. No one is "harvested" for the pelt, harmful synthetic chemicals aren't necessary for the faux and my friend the sheep goes happily on with his life. Baaaahhh...that's sheep talk for Gooooddd!'


Clara - Baaaaahh is my language - (being a New Zealander before an Aussie.)  So many concepts combined here - as is so, of course with most of your concepts.  There is an ethereal quality, combining the compact nature of felting with a certain transparency. Then the blending of colour resembling antique weathering. 
Similar to the weathering of my favourite flower, - hydrangea - which I am lucky enough to have growing in the back yard.  I see in the photos, the autumn hue which is my favourite.
 
Go Hydrangeas! One day I will somehow, creatively express your essence.
Clara

Felt like felting

  1. Still Crazy After All These Years

    It's four in the afternoon and we're heading for Friday night fish fry. Remember that? All you can eat of deep fried fish with coleslaw and fries. MMMMM...so good. Add a stiff bourbon manhattan with cherries in a tub of ice for the perfect way to end the week. You have so much to look forward to. The countdown is on, 10 days to go before lift off. I'll be at the airport to meet you with champagne and flowers. Roberto is treating us to a limo ride. Call you on Monday, usual time.
