Now that I've mostly recovered, and the studio is mostly back in working order, I am giving myself a holiday from shows and major deadlines for the next couple of months. There's so much felting, weaving, and sewing that I'd like to do, and I need to let serendipity be my guide for a while. I want to be a kid in my fiber "candy store".
At the Talmadge Art Show, I was privileged to sell one of my large vessels, Spice Market, to a gentleman who is a new client. He was kind enough to send this lovely photo of the piece in its classy new home. (Photo used with his permission.) I feel honored!
In the garden my freesias have started to bloom, while the weather bounces from winter to spring to summer and back again. It is full-on nesting season for the local hummingbirds. My husband keeps their feeders filled, I keep the flowers coming, and in return we get endless hours of entertainment watching them. The rate at which they're going through the "juice" makes it clear that there are a lot of babies being raised, though we have yet to see a nest. Sadly, nobody built one in our wind chimes this year. But all this activity, and some old yarn that caught my eye as I was felting, inspired this latest take on my miniature vessels. And yes, there are tiny felt eggs inside. Happy spring, a few weeks early!
