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.
