After spending a fabulous day felting with my friends Suzanne, Sharon, Char plus so many more, I was inspired to make more felt. I wanted to make another shawl but in a different colorway so I created this shawl which reminds me of Iris's in bloom. I absolutely LOVE dyeing silk. It is so much fun to watch the fiber soak up the dye. Actually, I really enjoy dyeing in general. The only drawback is that a day of dyeing means a day I can't be spinning, weaving or knitting. Alas, it's still a Fiber Art. So here is my newest creation, Iris.Tuesday, November 8, 2011
