Etsy Front Page & Treasury

What a great week it's been, and it's only Tuesday! The reason for the excitement is that Ollie Owlie made it into Etsy's holiday Gift Guide, another Etsy Treasury (thank you, Ligia Rocha), and onto Etsy's home page of handpicked items... woot woot :D I'm very grateful to all who made this happen — thank you!

Felted Bowl with Applique

In an effort to cut down on the time it takes to make my felted bowls, I created this style above which has no pre-felting design done to it. In other words, the decorative work (the hot pink and popsicle-orange spirals made of roving) were applied by needle felting after the bowl was wet-felted by machine. I was pleased with the results; hope you are too! Bowl available through my Etsy shop. ~ Kim

UPDATE: This bowl has SOLD.

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

While not quite ready to open our respective Etsy shops... Beth and I are working toward this goal :) Here are three bowls (85% wool, 15% mohair) I've just completed. Beth will post some of her lovelies soon. ~ Kim
