Felted Scarves

These felted scarves are one of my favorites. Agnes creates these beautiful pieces here in Connecticut.  They can be worn, used as a table runner or hung.  I think they are so painterly.

Our addiction to gadgetry notwithstanding, there are other advantages to these fingerless gloves; namely they are entirely pieced together by hand from recycled sweater bits and and no two are alike ($46). Dina's store and her unerring eye for accessories make for happy holiday shopping, stocked as it is with her own legendary jewelry collection and all manner of giftable goodies from a selection of covetable leather bags and intricate silk scarves to handcrafted adornments for your table.

Miss Florence's Tree

Each year new artists are asked to do a palette for the Florence Griswold Museum.
I was so excited to be a part of it this year.  
For my palette , I used acrylic paint, (the first time for me) and had fun making this red: layers upon layers.  Then I drilled holes in the palette.  I rolled lots of pieces of sterling wire through the rolling mill.  Then I pierced them through the palette.

I heated the other end of the wires with a torch to secure the pieces. The delicate sterling wires dangle and shimmer.    Check out Miss Florence's Tree at the Florence Griswold Museum

Here is my Sterling Palette.
See you at the party!  Thursday, Dec 2nd 5:30-7:30  for tickets

Weekends are for tag sales

Happy in it's new home.
