Prince Charming

Look at the Prince Charming that came to visit me in my strawberry patch today!!! heehee....so pretty!

Clouds at Lower Blomidon Beach, Nova Scotia

Cloud formations are pretty incredible. I have a gazillion pictures of clouds on many different days of the year and during various weather patterns. Not sure what I will ever do with these photos....but I think I am completely obsessed about capturing them on camera. The light and formations amaze me every time. This photo was taken on a gorgeous sunny day at around 6:30pm during low tide. The beach is Lower Blomidon Beach in NS (which I just found out today that I have often mistakenly referred to it as Medford Beach).

Needle Felting #2

Another felted bird piece.

Needle Felting

Just thought I would post another image of what I have been up to lately. I have created a whole series of bird inspired pieces that are made from locally grown/dyed wool (from the Gaspereau Valley Fibre Shop, NS) that I have needle felted and then stitched. All pieces are then matted and framed. I will take these pieces with me to the Wolfville Farmer's Market this week. I'm having fun with these and hope to make new pieces each week for the collection.

Stripes and Dots

What can I say.....I love stripes and dots!!! These two pieces are created by me. The hooked rug is made from wool yarn (and took over a year to create). The stool is somthing I recently found and decided to cover using recycled wool and of course the fun skull & crossbones patch. I love the juxtaposition of the bright colours combined with such a "dangerous" motif. I love colour!!!

Multi Medium

I just finished this piece yesterday. It is a combination of needle felting, stitching and painting. I had fun with this one as I just let the canvas dictate what should happen next. It was also fun to stitch on top of a canvas that had just been painted. I think I will try more of this technique using different styles. I will be showing my work in a group exhibit this fall with six other artists (all artists of various mediums) at a gallery in Halifax. The group is called Seven and is made up of seven fabulously creative women!! I can't wait!!!
