Finished another felted lipstick today. Created a sexy backdrop for this new, upcycled, faux product. ~ Kim

Felted Bowl on Etsy Treasury

What a great morning to find that my little aubergine felted bowl made it into a gorgeous Etsy Treasury. Thank you Lori from Risky Beads. (Be sure to check out Lori's unique and enchanting handmade jewelry collection!) ~ Kim

Felted Lotus Seed Pod

Here's a fun felted project that I worked on yesterday. I plan to make a few more to create a nice grouping. Don't you just love lotus seed pods? They are beautifully organic, yet have a noticeable geometric designerliness to them too. I'd like to get my hands on some dried lotus pods... does anyone know where I might find them? ~ Kim

Felted Sculpture :: Wall Pods

Pictured above are some more felted wall pods that I created. I like them hanging from a tree branch that I nailed to the wall in my messy studio. I've been playing with adding mirrors to these wall pods; one is shown here. I plan to add several more tiny mirrors to this pod after the holidays. Speaking of, happy Thanksgiving to all! We plan on having a house full here at the canyon. ~ Kim

Etsy Treasury

Oh, what a delightful way to start the day – with a notification that one of my felted bowls made it into another Etsy Treasury. The very talented Leah of Spider Felt assembled this beautiful collection. Do check out her Etsy site when you're doing your holiday shopping – she makes gorgeous cozy-warm scarves and collars, among other lovely felted things. ~ Kim

Felted Sculpture :: Wall Pods

A series of needle-felted sculptures that I've been developing. The dark brown-grey wool is 60% llama, 30% wool, and 5% silk... it's such a handsome blend! (The contributing llamas were Triumphus, who has since passed, and Charley, who now lives in Vermont. Thanks, guys.) These pieces are approximately 24 inches in height; am working on large-scale versions. ~ Kim
