NEW DIY KIT RETAILER: GROVEWOOD GALLERY





 
Very excited to announce that GROVEWOOD GALLERY in Asheville, NC
is now carrying selected FELTasticFahsion Felting DIY Kits!
 
 
 
 
The gallery, located next to The Omni Grove Park Inn, was opened in 1992 to revitalize the Homespun Shops that once housed the famous weaving and woodworking complex of Biltmore Industries. Grovewood showcases 9,000 square-feet of traditional and contemporary crafts by more than 500 artists from around the United States. Over the years, Grovewood has earned the reputation of being one of the nation's top retailers of fine American craft. (Source: www.Grovewood.com)
  
 
 
 

My lovely princess enjoyed her visit so much especially at the Sculpture Garden!

 
Next door, you can find North Carolina Homespun Museum.
NC Homespun Museum presents a historical overview of Biltmore Industries and its internationally renowned wool cloth. Originally located in Biltmore Village, then relocated to North Asheville, this weaving industry had an important economic impact on the region from 1901 through the 1940’s. Demand for Biltmore Homespun even reached the White House and several foreign countries. (Source: www.Grovewood.com)
 
 

  
Next door, antique car lovers will be fascinated by the Estes-Winn Antique Car Museum. Established in 1965 by Asheville businessman Harry Blomberg, the museum is home to several rare and vintage automobiles, as well as some original horse-drawn carriages and Asheville's own American La France fire engine. The cars have been preserved in their mostly original and running condition. (Source: www.Grovewood.com)

CUSTOM ORDER : DARTBOARD x2

 
Very excited to work on a special International order making the dartboard wool charm!


After making one, the client wanted to double it up!

 
Now it's the challenge to make exact same size!
But it's always to have a personalized touch to felt something unique too!

 
Initials were added at the back of the Dartboard wool charms.
 
Hope the receivers will love their new one-of-a-kind accessories!

FELTASTICFASHION X METAL X GLASS


For the very first time, I spent 5 days & 4 hours each days (20 hours in total)
learning a brand new craft while my children are in the other art-related programs!
 
 
I enjoyed every single moment to discover new media.
 
FELTASTICFASHION X METAL X GLASS
 

 
First off, my lovely children also enjoyed every day creative activities at the Fine Art Camp!
 


I've learnt using different type of glass & metal materials.
 
This one is using float glass & copper before firing.
 
Also using 90 coe glass & copper; as well as 90 coe glass & Kiln paper.
 
 

 

The results are very interesting after firing!
 


I also learned to use float glass with the mixed colored glass pieces & copper & gold.


 
At last I also learned to design the metal frame & how to cut the metal too!
 


 
I am happy to spend a whole week in the metal & glass studio
that allow me to create non-stop with new media!
