I feel a felt binge coming on....

its been a while since i got caught up in a felt frenzy....today I am doing lots of much needing around home work.......so tommorow can be a studio day.....am planning on going to school in the am and doing some felting. Planning my felt project due in 2 weeks.....lots of ideas....I need to rein myself in a bit......maybe a funky felt hat. At anyrate I will take the camera and try and do some 'process' pictures.....ok back to work.

Today's Adventures

Today we handed in our basket projects....mine was a vest, not nearly as interesting as Emily's cocoon....shown here, coiled out of several wool blankets and comes complete with a zip.

another manic....uh wednesday

And I thought market boot camp was hard.....3
full time days of school is just as intense.....but I am loving every second....except maybe the shlepping art supplies and texts back and forth. Here is some pics from yesterdays surface design class....we are working on colour wheels.....I am thinking I might put some design on my homogonous little car so I can find it in the parking lot.....the furry handcuffs that Kris put on the grill are not really my thing.

.....has anyone seen my flip flops.....i need more coffee.....toodles.

surface design 106

have had a massively busy 2 days finishing up my sample book for this class.....I am loving it. Making alot of lino blocks and foam block with ideas always in my head to take it into garments....now onto my fibre sample book for weaving class.....

Wow the summer went so fast. The fastest season I can remember.
And now....back at school for the first time in 30 plus years.....my brain is smoking just like an old car that has been sitting forever.....but I am loving it.

Trailer

I have finally achieved utlility trailer. At the moment it can hold the grid wall, tent and racks.....but I am hoping that once Jared gets home from working in Campbell River that he can build sides and a top on it and that way it would hold everything.
This is a very exciting addition and will cut the loading and unloading down by half which is awesome.
I am doing the poco market tonight.....hired Richy to help me....getting smarter in my old age. I am so looking forward to Cap U in September, I finished my online registrations yesterday and that was enough of a brain test.
Well, off to make the beds in the camper and load for the weekend.

market boot camp

No Excuses.....bad blogger.....so here we go again.

This week I will be at:
thursday-port coquitlam market
friday- twillight market in whistler in front of the wesitn
saturday- squamish market
sunday-whistler farmers market

Its funny how it seems like its hard work but then all of a sudden you get stronger and lifting gridwall and boxes doesnt seem so ardurous.

this weeks dyes include lots of sundresses for little girls....some dresses for adults....lots of underpants and t shirts. I have experimented with some different colour combos and I will post pics once they are out of the wash.
As for the rest of the day....registering for cap u courses, tieing some blacks and discharging them....and of course cleaning out the van for this weekends market boot camp. I am hoping the auction fairy comes up with a utility trailer today.....then things would be perfect.

pics to follow.
