Art of Knitting

I am in awe and inspired by artists who use fiber to express their creative passions.  Of course I am partial to yarn and this artist, Tatyana Yanishevsky, takes knitting to a wonderful level.  This work pushes my ideas of what is possible in my designs in fashion.

Needle Felted Panda

so I think I'm addicted to needle felting. Here is a panda.

Needle Felting

I took my first needle felting class at Home Ec in Silverlake. Jenny taught the class and she was fabulous. I was amazed I took to it like a duck to water. I always wanted to try it but for some reason in my mind I thought it would be difficult. Jenny showed us how fun and easy it was to felt.

So here is my first project. I adore him!
