My New Renaissance and Festival Wear Collection

I will have a booth at Sherwood’s 60th annual Robin Hood Festival. July 19th and 20th. This year’s parade theme is “Hats Off to Robin Hood!” I am having some fun designing some fun period costumes and festival wear.

Fall is here!

 

This has been an amazing fall. Beautiful colors and the opportunity to join some friends on a weekly hike throughout Portland’s parks and neighborhoods. With the season, my creative projects have been transforming also. I am having so much fun with  felted wool. Slippers, purses, hats and fingerless gloves. I just wore a pair of the gloves on this morning’s hike and they were terrific.

Yippee for the leaves!

Grey Felted Wool Fingerless Gloves $28.

Fingerless Wool Felted Gloves greys, burgundy, grey $28

These items are “upcycled” from old discarded sweaters. After wet felting, I am refashioning them into new accessories for your enjoyment.
