Fiber Fest 2012 with Steven Be

The past several days have been filled with fiber of many sorts....classes (I have one more today....YEAH), hanging out with other fiber enthusiasts, and free stuff! Check out the contents of my swag bag from this year!
THE YARNS.....



THE GADGETS AND GOODIES.....


THE PATTERNS.....


MY FAVORITES....



Silk twist yarn by Rowan
Frog Tree yarns in an little clear project bag
Corn Yarn made locally in Benton, MN called Corny Goodness
Hannah hand dyed silks
Tilli Tomas needle bag
Clear project bags by Prism
Yarn Buddy hand made made from African wood by Sun Valley Fibers
All stuffed inn a light weight Steven Be bag made from recycled plastic water bottles.....

Thanks soooooo much to the generosity of Steven Berg (guru at both StevenBe's and Yarn Garage), the awesome creative companies that put together the great products in the swag bags, the amazingly energetic staff at both cool twin cities stores, and to the inspiration of each and every teacher that I encountered .

I will give a better class overview after I finish up my classes today.....but I took classes in Icelandic Knitting, Habu Fiber, Tunisian crochet, Tips and tricks, color theory at Minneapolis Institute of Art, and I have knitting with beads today. I am nearly knitted out, but I have learned a ton!!!!!!!

In four hours today......I made.....

I took a class on Icelandic knitting with Lopi wool.....and in four hours I made this funny tiny sweater. Since my little children not really into dolls now, I immediately smooshed my little sweater into clay! Sorry, fiber friends! I can't wait to make pieces with my little sweater!

Thermo-fax......back to the future!

Check out the screens I made with a crusty old thermo-fax machine today!









Can't wait to print with these beauties! I am hoping they will also work on clay with underglazes, oxides, slips, or anything else I can squeegee onto a clay surface! Time will tell!

My First Sweater!!!!!

I finished this Josh Bennett pattern to fit my hubby a week ago or so.....I finished the body knitting it in the round in all one piece because everyone hate seaming! I did the body in about four days, and spent more than two weeks just doing the sleeves. Worth it in the end for sure!!!!!!




Hubby is a slightly unwilling model, but I just had to show off the fit!!!!!


Yeah! I love asymmetry!

Knitting FOREVER!

I have been knitting this lace pattern forever and a day. I used two skeins of a Noro self-striping lace weight yarn and itty bitty needles.....and I just might finish this week.....

Texture

This is a clay ball, hollow, and textured. I added iron oxide before the final firing. This seems like Zentangle as I fill each section with it's own texture from carving or hand made stamps or impressions from found objects such as rope or screw heads.

Channeling my inner middle schooler

I have been channeling my inner middle schooler by doing a bunch of ink doodles....some just designs of my own....some inspired by Zentangle patterns.....some just patterns of of names....

It is really good practice and I suspect will lead to some development of new textures for pottery and textiles.....

Problems wit blog press

I wrote these last two leaf entries several days back using BlogPress on my iPad, but couldn't publish them until the app had an update to fix bugs. So, sorry, for the poor blogging.....once again.

Lyno Carving Leaves

In my fabric class today, I started a lyno carving and then finished the opposing side when I got home. More leaves!

Leaves

I have been working with my leaves and scanning in some fabric prints....



This was a particularly washed out mono print that I liked. I used it to practice some hand stitching and play with density. Below is a class sample. I need to work more on my knots....


This mono print became a sample using layers of printed organza and machine stitching.


Tada!



This one was printed, several times, and then I added hand stitching, layered again with printed organza, and more hand stitching. Then I cut away the center section of shear fabric and highlighted the top outline with purple ink.
Kind of a lot going on...?

Obsessed with leaves

I have been obsessed with leaves....and I miss those monstrous leaves from Brazil! I have been making replicates for use on clay and fabric out of craft foam.....it is a neat direction that I will develop into my body of work.



This is from a vining plant thing call "Adam's Ribs"










I don't know what kind either of these are, but they are so cool!

The start of a new year


I don't yet feel like myself, but this tree took my breath away. I just got back from six weeks in Brazil visiting family for Christmas. Today I am beyond wiped out, but figured blogging might be fun.


Corcovado....the Christ statue on top of a hill is Rio de Janeiro....I love this touristy thing and take absolutely every opportunity to go! He has open arms to the world.


Here is the family wearing our New Year's whites. Happy 2012! Posted using BlogPress from my iPad Jerri Neddermeyer
