They look fun and so colourful - I could imagine making egg-shaped ones for an Easter basket! Thanks for sharing how you make them. I think your beautiful work needs to get published - with instructions!Yvonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15865935238557234504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-297880410038173269.post-35863230071864839602009-03-19T10:43:00.000-07:002009-03-19T10:43:00.000-07:00No I hadn't really thought to.

Seems you have the same interest - Andy goldsworthy is a great artist, I have two books of him. And you have done a workshop with Judit Pocs - your hats are great btw - I have been twice to her workshops. Did you know she is since February this year mother of a new-born babygirl? You have a great feeling for using vibrant colours. And India is one of my favourites at this moment - today I have packed again two bundles for steaming, experiment with grass and bark. And last but not least I love felting. I will be one of your followers under the name of fontainefleurie, the name of our second home in France. But you will find my creativity experiments on www.dovadi.web-log.nl/fiberfusing.fontainefleuriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15573217059653273816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-297880410038173269.post-81476433893702602222009-03-14T05:05:00.000-07:002009-03-14T05:05:00.000-07:00Ha.
