Wet Felting :: Best of Show

The last time I was awarded a ribbon was probably back in high school for track — and, I assure you, it wasn't blue... not even close. So I wanted to toot my own horn a bit and share a photo of me with my big, fat, felted bowl and its shiny, best-of-show ribbon. Thanks to all who voted — and thanks to everyone at the Flag Wool & Fiber Festival and The Arizona Historical Society for another wonderful year and perhaps the best festival to date. So much work goes into these events and so many talented, hard-working people make it happen. I was thrilled to be able to teach a workshop this year and hope to be invited back next year for same. If you missed it this year, be sure to mark your calendars for next.

What little I can see of your bowl is GORGEOUS! Have you blogged it (i.e., was I sleeping when you did?)? Sure would love to see photos!

Hi, Linda! Thank you for the kind comments. Yes, you can see a better photo of the bowl here on my business site: http://www.buchheitcreative.com/portfolio_five.html

And, FYI: I'm teaching a class at the Grand Canyon this Oct. 6-7 — and during this weekend workshop intensive participants will make vessels using resists, dye their wool, and discover fiber's role in this region's history.

Here's the workshop link: https://www.grandcanyon.org/photography-art-yoga/fiber-arts-wool-workshop-felted-vessels/

Would love to have you join us!
