wax and wool

My friend Kobi introduced me to the work of Ann Wood and Dean Lucker and when I was in Minneapolis, we went on a studio visit. Their mechanical pictures and sculptures are indeed "amazing". My photos don't do any justice. Visit their site at www.woodlucker.com

Microscopic skeins of handspun wool. I needed to co-ordinate yarn with roving that I had needle felted.

These are a continuation of the ones from the sketchbook project. The petals are needle felted with hand embroidered words. Trying to get them finished up for Open Studios this weekend. More info here.

Did the big push to re-arrange, clean and sort for Open Studios. The postcards came together, with the added "winging it" element of soliciting text for future embroidery. More photos on flickr.
