One of the local art galleries is asking artists to make award plaques from cd’s to be awarded to the winners in the juried show in Sept. (They get a more substantial prize as well, of course) So of course I had to play! This one is 2 cd’s and a double layer dvd…the purple. [...]

Wow! It really felted. I really didn’t think it would get this small. It’s about the same size as the Pink one I wove on the 7″ loom. Well, when it dries I’ll do some embellishing and see what i come up with but I’m going to have to find a new yarn to try [...]

Not exactly a case I guess but it will keep it from being bunged up in my rather crowded purse. It’s cuter than the camera case/bag, but it’s also a tight fit! lol I just grabbed some yarn and it tuned out to be hand-spun, easter egg dyed, navajo plied, samoyed. I think it’s going [...]

Tazeron & Robin sitting on the back step enjoying the last of the evening sunshine. It was a little smoky again today. Not as bad as it was earlier, but not as nice has it has been all last week. Still, we rode up Bonanza King to visit one of the old copper mines and [...]
