Faerie Chat - The blog

When I am not making Faerie Bears, I am playing with Powertex. It is so good to be back down in the studio creating.
 
Let me introduce "Rough Red", "Goldiwho?" and "I've got the blues".
 
Other designs will be available and they can be done in any colour combination. Finished off with Powercotton for feathers and StoneArt air-dry clay for the wings and beak.  

These crazy birds will be available as a half day workshop and also available on a Monday night, at the Churchill studio. Larger birds can be made on request, up to 1 metre tall.

Once cured they will be available to go out in your garden on the stand  or can be made to hang in a tree or under a pergola. I have a couple under construction that will be in full flight.

Faerie bears

It has been a while since have posted, so I thought I would share what I do when I am not playing with Powertex.

These cute little "faerie bears" are hand-felted over a calico bear, in a rainbow of colours. Perfect to sit and make at night -  very easy, just watch out for those sharp needles!! With the right equipment, it isn't a problem.

They can be personalised with babies names or created and embellished to suit your décor.

They will be available in the "Faeries with Attitude" on-line shop and I am happy to post anywhere within Australia.

I plan to have workshops in creating these little characters available soon, from the Churchill studio. All materials will be provided, including fibre in a range of colours, felting needles and tools and of course, the calico bear, which is available in three sizes. Workshop cost will depend on the size of the bear. Kits will also be available.

Some new work

Over the last few days I have been making a few different things for the market at Hanging Rock on Sunday.

Some candle holders, Yin and Yang inspired sculptures, Buddha candle holders and some new wall art. A nice change!! I will have to take photos of the other things on Sunday, as they are already packed into the van.

For anyone after a great day on Sunday, the Hanging Rock Market should be fabulous. Hope the rain stays away!! Lots of stall holders and of course, Hanging Rock as the most spectacular backdrop for this market.

For more information, link to the Craft Markets Australia page here.

A lovely surprise!

Have just said good-bye to another two sculptures. These two have been made from a wedding dress belonging to someone's Aunt. The smaller of the two is for the Aunt's 90th birthday - I hope she likes it.

My lovely surprise while making these two was that at I was pulling the dress apart, some confetti fell out from behind the waistband. Faded, but so special, when you think of all the memories that would have been attached to the dress.

Just a bit sentimental, but using fabric from clothing worn at special occasions or that has special significance, is a fabulous way of creating a really special sculpture. When I first started making fabric sculptures, I had used a Thai silk maternity dress, that I wore when having our son, (who is now 33) to make a geisha.
