a bunch of art

Hello Readers!


Sit back and enjoy the artwork! 
Even though the term 'art' is subject to one's own opinions, I am in hopes you do enjoy at least some of what I consider to be art!

looks like I forgot to paint the carrot!

felted bird with copper wire legs
this one is a work in progress. Plans call for a bit of embroidery on the bird.

felted bowl
This was made by felting around a plastic egg.



Felted bars of soap. The round things in the picture above are felted plastic eggs. They will be turned into little bowls like the other one shown.

woven paper balls
I have a boatload of these paper balls and no clue what the hell I'm going to do with them all. I think there are around 100 of them now and I still have loads of cut strips of paper to weave into balls.
I'm thinking maybe they should be turned into garlands of some sort.

buckyball
this one is about the size of a soccer ball.

As it sits on a shelf, I've noticed it hasn't really held up well to sitting on a shelf. I do not think it will hold up well to being hung either. Something needs to be worked out with this one to make it sturdier.

Perhaps more glue in the joins?

There's Tippy cat sitting next to it so you can see it's size somewhat. It actually looks smaller in this picture than it really is!

More units being readied for the next soccer ball sized buckyball
Which you will see in the next post!

newspaper basket
woven newspaper held together with fancy packing tape. I made this basket on the fly cause my daughter in law needed a basket to take banana bread muffins to work in one day while I was down there visiting. I whipped this basket out in a couple of hours. The muffins were delicious.

Wool ball with crewel embroidery thread decorations.

another with crewel embroidery decorations

and another

All three of these have a rattle inside and all are made from recycled materials. Their shells are made from three different old sweaters I cut apart for using in making monsters. I haven't made any new monsters in ages.

twinchie book
I think there are 24 pages in this book which would mean there are 48 twinchies. I glued them all back to back before punching the holes and doing the binding with crochet cotton thread.

Here it is opened.

Thanks for sticking around to the end!
Remember.....
be good to one another!
It truly matters!
Peace
