Time Marches On in progress



This is the piece I'm currently working on. I have completed the felting but I'm still adding hand embroidery. I used my jelly rolls in this piece. I cut slices and then decided to pull them apart and open them up. I left some of the slices intact and needled felted them into the background. I need to get this finished by the 26th of this month to enter it into Fiberworks.

Our cat, Dudley, is surveying the new floor. The wall we started on is 58' long. We have installed 10' of flooring from the wall.
Dudley has been our supervisor. He watches our every move to make sure we are doing a good job!
You can see some of the boxes of flooring on the floor and the cutter on the right.

Installing the Floor



Ron and I have started laying the floor in our loft. It will be so nice when it's finished! I was getting tired of plain dusty old unsealed concrete. This is vinyl plank flooring that is 6" x 36" in a hickory color. It's a floating floor system so the planks have glue where they interlock with each other but they are not glued to the floor. It's really easy for a novice to install and believe me we are novices.

Work in Progress



I'm working on a new felted piece so I will have something to enter in Fiberworks 2007. I haven't decided on the title of this yet but it will be something about "trying to contain time". Any name suggestions, anyone? This is made from my Felting Fabric and embellished with hand embroidery. I'm painting a canvas to mount it on and then it will be finished.
