Plaza Pet Clinic staff came to paint Pet Portraits yesterday…..and paint they did! Look at their fabulous paintings. All wonderful and I can’t wait to see Leah’s tall canvas when she finishes it up. She’s a regular student at The Studio so she chose a little more challenging canvas. I know it will be great too!

Week 2 of Temperature Scarf

I am catching up my Temperature Scarf. I completed week 2. Remember I thought I might try using different stitches each week. Well for the second week I chose a shell stitch. Since I am just trying to make it work I am having to just determine how many stitches to skip to make it fit. For this one I skipped 2 stitches and then did 5 double crochets and skipped 2 stitches and then did a single crochet. Then I repeated. Read more about the Temperature Scarf here.

Wet Felting at Sarafina’s

Posted in daily painter, Felting, tagged wet felting on January 22, 2017| 2 Comments »

I took a day off yesterday to learn how to make 2D landscapes by wet felting. It was FUN!

I love learning something new and I have wanted to do this for some time. I traveled to Elkton, MD to Sarafina Fiber Art for the workshop. It’s a beautiful shop and mail order center. She has everything you need to do needle or wet felting. Take a look at her website. Her work is in the photo gallery there and it’s lovely. She also offers online tutorials to help you get started if you can’t take a workshop. But if you have the opportunity I encourage you to learn with one of the best. Thanks Sara for a wonderful day.
