I will post all of the felted toys as I get them finished, but so far I have made the sunset painted colors into balls, and they turned out great. I have started a pottery class (okay, I'm halfway through it) - and I hope to have some results to share soon. We went in tonight (me and Sara, my buddy who is brave enough to do this with me) to practice, and I threw 2 decent looking bowls. We'll see if they survive - my last bowl cracked during the drying phase. My suspicion is that someone put something else on top of it by the way it cracked, but my teacher says it might have gotten water-logged. I guess both guesses are possible :-0 But anyway, we got to see the glazed results of our earlier projects. My glazing turned out okay. I am jazzed to see some other color combinations on my future work. The ones that turn out, that is. Pics coming soon, I promise. SO here are my wunderkinder. They got up this morning and just started working on various art projects or reading (as I slept in, as John went to a swap meet and made me miss my yoga class ;-(. Then they pulled out the "purler beads". They were just being so cute, they were singing together, that I had to get a video. They were well aware that I was taping, however. I call them the O'Haley Family Singers:Aren't they cute? And I hope to keep updating my other blog, Moon Garden Fibres with my projects. Feel free to check in there as well, although I won't update that site nearly as often. http://insalamandercity.blogspot.com/ AND - finally, for my own amusement, I will pick one photo from each of my folders from the past 6 years (okay, some even earlier if I find any good scanned photos on my computer, I won't scan any new old ones in for now) to show in each post. I can't decide if I should start at the beginning of my folders, at the end, or in the middle. I'm afraid I will lose track if I don't go in some type of order.... So here goes, my first picture folder, September, 2002, Owen's first haircut:
