This first post represents my work for the past year or so.
Felting...
I attended a silk fusion workshop last year and loved the results. I've been experimenting ever since.
I also attended a Nuno felting workshop given by Lyn Pfleuger of Sheep Creek Weavers. This is a shoulder cape I created using her methods.
