NADA 2015 FELTING DEMO + WORKSHOPS

#WHY I FELT 2014

TODAY, 1st Saturday of October, is the International Day of Felt!

 

And...we won a 1-yr subscription for FIBER ART NOW magazine

with our followings  #WHYIFELT2014 stories! Happy Dance!

 

 

#WHYIFELT2014 ?! I want to "Felt It. Love It. Treasure It."

I want to handmade fiber art to show how versatile & durable that wool fiber can be!

I want to make something me & my daughter will treasure forever!

(Felted birthday crown by FELTasticFashion from 2012 (3YR) to 2014 (5YR), so on & so forth)

 

#WHYIFELT2014 ? Felting allows one to create without boundaries.

Handmade fiber art result is always unique, just like fingerprint!

(Chinese Opera by FELTasticFashion 2014)

 

 

#WHYIFELT2014 ? If something didn't end up what I expected,

I can just pull the wool fibers apart, reuse & restart. So Eco-friendly!

Family Felting Fun! Always!

 

Great family bonding time! Always!

 

 

THE REPURPOSE FELTING PROJECT: PUMPKIN

It's officially FALL~
Just about time to start a new project : The Repurpose Felting Project!

Playing with the electric hand felting machine!

It speeds up the needle felting 100x faster! (IMO)

Now the old sweater is hiding inside as the core of the big orange wool pumpkin! 

Making Pumpkin Leaves...Love Fall Colors!

 

Twisted & Felt

 

Adding FF signature = Project Completed !!

 

The most satisfying moment for an artist or creator

is definitely the time to sign his/her name or put on the monogram on the finished piece!

I'm no exception!

Comparing the two wool needle felted pumpkins. Which one you like more?

 

"Mommy, I'm so strong & not heavy at all."

"Well of course. It's 100% Wool."

 

Time flies when I held my little girl whose just started to walk through the pumpkin patch & also when I first discovered felting craft from the Annapolis Valley.

 

Four years later, I'm making wool pumpkins to mark another harvest

& thanksgiving time of the year!

 

Always Felt It. Love It. Treasure It.

CREATIV FESTIVAL 2013

TWIST FIBRE FESTIVAL 2013

 

 

It was really an amazing fibre festival at TWIST (Aug. 24-25, 2013) in Saint-André-Avellin, Quebec.

 

Both Saturday & Sunday, about 3,000 wool lovers visited all 80+ vendors & workshops & exhibition.

 

First road show for us in Quebec & we tried our best to introduce our bilingual felting DIY kits.

 

We were so excited to share anything we know & many enjoyed & took home 1 or 2 kits too!

 

This was one of the best festivals we'd ever attended.

 

It's our pleasure to meet many other vendors from everywhere within Canada!

 

We also missed the two lovely sheep at the front door!

 

Very adorable indeed!!!
