I have gotten into felting and embellishing spheres. It’s gotten to be obsessive.

I have finished this piece and is ready to be framed. Which back ground would you choose? Don‘t pick because of texture but just light or dark. Thank you **Note the frame is what it will sit in.

I decided to try another burlap art piece. This time a tree. As always you can see the start to finish at my website (metamorphosis page) Daisy Hill Studio

I can’t believe the roll I have been on lately. Finished “Things That Go Rust”. I really probably will rename it. It leans to more to “Safari”. What do you think? https://daisyhillstudio.art.blog metamorphosis page. Back to finishing “Burlap Tree” and starting “Moose”

The main yarns used in this piece was a Kaffee Fassett yarn. I added additional yarns, wool and non wool. Embellishments to obtain interest and eye catching colors. You can see the beginning and end of this piece as with all my pieces on my website https://daisyhillstudio.art.blog under the...

This piece came together easy enough but the framing was a challenge. Finally finished it.

I finished this piece, ready for framing. I so enjoyed making it. Learned so much about this process. So much so that, I have started a new piece. You can see beginng to end on my website https://daisyhillstudio.art.blog/metamorphosis-at-work/ I will keep it up on that page for a few weeks...

It’s far from finished but decided to water down acrylic paint and tint the sky (blue) and ground (green). It is soft and subtle. I think I will add some reindeer moss to the ground to further texturize the ground. This has truly been an educational piece! I will make a second attempt but...

This one challenged me quite a bit. The colors were easy but once I started beading and embellishing it, the more I beaded it the more I did not like it. So, I then decided to take ivory non felting yarn and did French knots through out the beading and then it popped. Finally, the depth I was...

Well I have not been around here for a while but certainly been working away. I wanted to experiment with burlap and my felting work so I worked on one today. It’s not finished but was excited to see it so far. If your interested here is where you can take a peek at its metamorphosis so far...

I have enjoyed working on this piece. It is crocheted in wool then felted. Once done it is layered in non felted yarns and embellished with gears. It gives it a “Steampunk” look. The process is on my blog http://daisyhilldesigns.art.blog

I posted on my blog today about how I make a spreadsheet (with pictures) for each of my designs. I have 4 tabs 1. Cover sheet with progress pictures 2. Labor $ 3. Supplies list with costs 4. Notes page. If interested, my blog is: http://daisyhillstudio.art.blog Just FYI my job life was...

Not sure if anybody else does this but I use my tablet, watch and or phone to track my time when working. I use the stop watch function. Start it up when I start then pause it when I need to step away from designing. When I am able to get back to it I start it up again. I can continue the...

I have been working on a series of mandalas. They are con-vex forms that hang away from the wall. I will probably put fairy lights behind each of them. Green is “Flower Power” Yellow is “Mellow Yellow” Purple is “Night Shade” I do have one more in the series to complete. They are crocheted in...

Completed another piece today. This has been made for a while but needed to be framed so I finally got around to do it Wall piece completed. This now goes to the completed pieces and I posted the newer ones at the top of the page.

Just finished this piece. I call it “Out of the Blue.” I was working on another piece when this said finish me. So, I set aside the other piece.

The author of “Wreck This Journal” and several other inspirational “Wreck This…” series of books. Have you heard of her ? She has several books.

I have been looking and listening to many different sites and I am thinking of putting my art bags and several other things I have made into the fashion sector instead of just the fiber art area. What do you think for those of you that do clothing, purses, scarves head gear and such? Have any...

I have been trying to get, I hate to say, “pigeon hole” my art bags I’ve been designing. It seems that mixed media is where it falls with people, but… that is such a wide field. I want to place my work where it is (how do I say) art. What do you think if I put my art bags into the fashion...

I’m new hear and looking for people that design with yarns. My medium is felting. This is one of my mostly completed items. I used wool and added beads, covered car-bone rings and bracelets. Working over the base to add depth with wool and non-felting yarns and threads. I crochet the base...
