Felting Frenzy
These hats are my babies.They are wet felted merino wool. It’s just so much fun to be able to start from the wool, pick any colour in the spectrum and create any shape I like. I call them small acts of insanity because they are so labour intensive, but I love every minute of it.…

I confess that I have been having too much fun lately. Aside from filling an order for one of the most wonderful hat shops anywhere, Beauchapeau Hat Shop in Niagara on the Lake, I have been in design mode. It is a time of many half made hats being hurled out the window, but also…

Last weekend was the Halifax Crafter’s show. I met many wonderful new and old customers and also spent a fair amount of time salivating over the work of the other artists. It’s one of the nicest shows I have ever seen. People lined up to get in when the show opened and it was still…

It has been quite nice hiding away in my studio making hats, but sometimes I just dream of making something beautiful, impractical and that loses money in every way. So, with that in mind, I took the…

Remember that adorable little girl in my hat from the last post. Well, It seems the whole family is into hats. This here is Feather. I do have to admit she looks really good in it.

This lovely lady just embodied this pink organic jersey headband. It called out to her and she listened.

I just came across this photo of one of my merino wool wet felted hats. I love making them, but as they take forever and a day, I don’t get to make too many of them. They never stay with me for long. This one lives in Montreal with its owner.
