took a walk through my neighbourhood

saw scandinavia . . poland

. belgium
















.... i was going to say

look how beautifully made
by finnish woodworkers
designed by secto

and then something sad happened
in the family


... times are a bit stressful










... read somewhere that alpaca is






harder to felt

... because it is so delicate

it's true

i'm starting to like alpaca when felted


... the sun is shining :)
well it did for an hour ...








... riley gave me some very lovely naturally dyed
baby alpaca which she brought back from peru

love it loosely spun
or spun in general

that's when it looks the most interesting


:: while enjoying journal de jours
i saw something you shouldn't miss

juliette bogers

hermine took a picture of the shop window

... my kind of heaven
it reminded me of abnit nijjar

weekend already...
have a nice one!






... have been busy with diy
and searching for fabrics and fibers





eraser

just funny ... when i picture me or
someone else using it

thought it said mistakes
no need for steaks

... a few mittens later



went for merino
also very soft and much more practical

...it looks like alpaca is more suited for spinning
except for the black kind

i'll show you some alpaca tomorrow
make that later because it's too dark

yesterday some alpaca fibers came in
... i'm testing them out now







.... tried to felt some 3d shapes
the right one is made of alpaca fibers
left is merino


this is just practicing but i like to show you
the trial and error as well.

...i'm going to felt myself some gloves

happy weekend
