jabberwocky update
not yet washed and set but all done spinning. after washing and setting, this yarn will be looser and fluffier. it already is too fat to be sock yarn. i still need to practice, practice, practice on consistent size. that's ok because it's so much fun!

oldies
i took a couple of classes in november last year and i never got around to posting it. the classes were taught by one of my favorite artists, gail crosman moore.
i took gail's bracelet class and made these as christmas gifts.
this last one is mine. instead of sequins, i used some of the african beads mom brought back from new york (some 25+ years ago, i think). the red disks are old phonograph records made into beads.
i'm still working on some felted gifts. here are some in-progress pics:
if you are interested in felting, gail has two online classes available at beaducation.
