Yurts

lovely yurt from belinda!, originally uploaded by artstreamstudios.

...are something which have always fascinated me. The felting process, the idea of living in a felted home, even if ever-so-temporary has always been a goal of mine. Goal realized (sort of!)! Belinda from Luxembourg and expert felter, just took a trip to Kyrgyzstan this past August and brought me back a tiny yurt and doll to go with it. Go take a peek at her trip's hightlights over at her blog. It was a most amazing voyage with felting goodness throughout. Thanks so much Bel!

Sweet things

Time marches on ... sometime earlier in July - er was it August - a rather lost month for me - two blogging friends from across the sea - Beate, from Dusseldorf and Belinda, from Luxembourg dropped two nice blog awards on me. Too busy to do much about it at the time, I have finally surfaced now and will thank them properly ... thank you ladies for thinking of me!
These two women have incredible fiber arts talents, I visit their blogs and flickr accounts almost daily and love to see what they have created! Belinda just came back from a felting symposium holiday in Kyrgyzstan. Go see her posts on yurts, fashion and traditional felting at her blog. AMAZING.
Beate has just finished a beautiful new piece of fabric art here and you can browse her black and white photographs in her portfolio (my favorite one) and pop by to see her set of love letter books which are more than cute!
I am the happy owner of a beautiful felted poppy which sits on my desk at the gallery gifted from Belinda and a sweet set of fabric postcards from Beate on my small studio table at home.
Wonderful artists, bloggers and blogging friends!
