Day 3....Half Way....Fiber Camp

Today was very productive. Lots and lots of elbow grease...wet felting!(My speciality!) We used every fiber available to us today. It was a mecca of yarns, fibers, angelina, and whatever was around. We incorperated needle felting today too. So everything we learned this week was used today. Very creative little artists wow-ed me. It always warms my heart to see what these kids come up with. I guess it helps too, that we live in the most beautiful, inspiring environment around! Just look at these photos and the creations. Some have mentioned they want to enter some pieces to the Vermont Sheep and Wool Festival. Yay! Exposure, now everyone will see how great they are. Bravo!

Day Two Fiber Camp

Wow, wow, wow! These kids are worker bees. Today we carded (combed/blended) the wool that they dyed yesterday....so all the wool you see, the kids colored! Actually, there is more that we will use tomorrow, so all that you see today, is only part of what they did yesterday. Also, today we learned how to needle felt. Some projects are still a masterpiece in the making and some are complete. We had so much fun, we almost forgot to stop for snack. Long day, but fruitful. Cannot wait until tomorrow......

Day One Fiber Camp






Today we had our first day of Fiber Camp at Maybelle Farm! What a wonderful bunch of kids. On the agenda for today was dying. We used food coloring, Easter egg dyes and kool-aid. Wonderful fun with color. The older kids also were able to blend some nice fibers with the carder using wool, alpaca, mohair and sparkly angelina.

Wardsboro Town Hall Fiber Demo

Well, today the newly dubed 'Fab Fiber Five' have left their mark at the Wardsboro Town Hall. We had a demo day and added a few sales too. This was all to benefit the Wardsboro Library. Margaret Silva was weaving, Kathy Meeks needle felting, Jenna Konesko drop spindle, Alison Shantz wheel and Cheryl Flett wet felting. It was a super fun day to play and show adults and children the world of fiber.

Kathy and I have penciled a few classes. Very soon, a schedule will appear....promise! New things on board....that is all I am saying. Can't give away all the surprises:)
