I have since gotten my gallery inventory off and cleaned up the place and now I'm onto (more) holiday items. Right now, I'm eager to be done with those and back to some more creative explorations with some beautiful fiber I found at the Western North Carolina Fiber Fair. I love your jewelry- went over to the etsy shop, too. Lovely and whimsical! I'm sitting here trying to figure out how you get those little spins and twirls. Must be heat... Also looked up the felt rolling machine. You're brave. Seems a bit daunting to me but I'm also thinking it would be awfully nice for production felt for clothing and other expanses of cloth. I'll stay tuned- it's always interesting to me to follow the fiber arts world across the pond...frankly, I think you all are doing a better job of it.

You are right! at the time being ill I didn't look up to see that is is as you say... A gift of time for research and nourishment. Thank you. I love your work. And I too am a dog lover. I respect what you are doing for other dog lovers. Blessings Thank you for your great comment.

I love YouTube! It sure beats paying $100 and up for a class and some of the videos are clear enough that one can go and get started right away. I make jewelry, and use YouTube all the time to build on my techniques. You never know, what could seem like a waste of time just might pay off. If you know Etsy then you know that selling there can be hard, so every edge you can get helps. I incorporate some fiber into my work already, but am very intrigued with how felting is used in jewelry. It looks like it's possible to make just about any shape with it, and I love the gradients some people use, so I'm in the process of researching how that is done. My shop on Etsy is http://Giftbearer.etsy.com It looks like from the picture above that you do glasswork. I'll have to go check out your shop! Hi John,

I wonder how much room those machines require. To be able to put more time and effort into design and layout would be wonderful. Enjoy!
