I am stocking up on making my wooly critters for a November artisan show at the Da Vinci Centre in Victoria, BC.
I up-cycle wool sweaters that are past their useful life (from thrift stores) and then felt them using hot water and soap. I then decide which critter the sweater wants to be and off I go.
It has been a blast as you will see from my new stash:
First some of my Foxes:
A daddy fox made from the same soft wool reddish sweater:
One of more super soft lambs from a cashmere sweater (I will be making another one in pink):
I managed to find another yellow cashier sweater that had a few holes in it but made a super sweet monster:
I also found a lovely lavender purple sweater that shouted out, make me a kitty!
A super soft pink puppy:
What else is there? What about a kitty modelled after Rosie the Riveter and "hello kitty":
So you see, I have been very busy indeed. Now I must make a dolly based on a poem, "My Cubby Hole". Stay tuned.
