New Blog for Potomac Fiber Arts Gallery

My co-op gallery just started a new blog after setting up a Facebook fan page a few months ago. More and more of our gallery members are on Facebook but still spend plenty of time at their looms, sewing machines, beading tables, knitting couches, etc. Our latest gallery theme was The Child Within and members produced some very colorful and whimsical fiber art creations.

A few days ago, I was working the in-house jury process as scribe and one of my colleagues submitted this fantastic giant felted thistle. We were all amazed at her creativity and I decided to share it with the world here. She is from Scotland, so it was just a matter of time, I guess, for the idea to hit her ! Christine always produces gorgeous nuno felted scarves, bags, fingerless mittens and lovely flowers. There is alot of felt work in our gallery and hers always makes a fabulous impression. Felting is something I did once in a fiber arts class in college. I don't plan on doing it ever again for the main reason that I don't like to get my hands wet ! However, I do enjoy seeing the wonderful work of my fellow artists.
