Gearing up for the Beechwood Market

Over this summer, I will be participating in five individual Beechwood Market events.   The Beechwood Market is the East End's new spot to shop, taste and mingle on Saturdays and this year I will be part of it!

On June 11th, June 25th, July 2nd, August 13th and August 20th I will be exhibiting my handmade, one-of-a-kind felt fine art and craft pieces.

The event as a whole will bring you everything from local produce to prepared foods and VQA wines, baking, prepared foods, and arts and craft products.  For further details, visit beechwoodmarket.ca.

Here are some samples of what you will find at my booth during the market:

The Felting Process

After some time away from felting, this weekend I made a large summer tree piece destined to be framed in an old storm window.  I documented the process of constructing the piece which is detailed in the photos below:

I laid out a base layer of undyed wool...

followed by coloured roving to make my 'painting'...

worked it with hot soapy water...

and framed the finished piece in an up cycled storm window.
