“Feast” is a Mixed Media ART Yarn experience, for the adventurous SPINNER.
Over 20 luxurious ingredients go into this FEISTY mix….hand built in my studio and available in Golds, Oranges, Poppy, Pinks, Reds, Violets, Blues, Greens, Turquoise, Ice Forest (all sparlky whites!) Soft/neutral beiges, chocolate and BLACK. Offering this for the first time RETAIL.
Lovely presentation in a cellophane cone with silk ribbon ties. 4oz – $40bucks. I will suggest that you grab an armful, set it on your lap and basically deal with every tid-bit as it presents itself to you and MAKE IT WORK….feed it to the wheel! I like to ply mine with a 60/2 silk thread or metallic thread for extra shizzle…Divine! Let me know if you want some before I hit the SHOW circuit. fyberfiend@yahoo.com
PSS: I will be teaching this at Fiber in the Forest in May 2013.

Deep Freeze – Studio Time

Posted on January 22, 2013 by Janis Thompson

BRRRRR…with this cold snap, I have plenty of time in my home studio to prepare for upcoming Fiber Festivals.  Winding skeins, dyeing yarn and fibers, packaging & labeling are not the most creative part of the process, but necessary for progress!

Buckets full of soaking wool, silk and various fibers fill the floor and fill the air with the heady scent of vinegar and wet critter fluff.

You have just read my very FIRST blog post …..  more to follow!
