Lavender Swirl

I'm not good at colorway names. Obviously.

I've been invited to have a table at an Arts in the Park celebration in a town about 20 miles away. This is their first year. They require that everything be handmade by the artist, and the artist must be present at the booth. No re-selling is allowed. I like that, so I'll support them by participating. I'll bring some of my ploomed items, some wet felted items, and some practical art needlefelted items like these.

Needlebooks to keep needles and pins handy but organized.


They close by wrapping the thread around the tiny vintage button.


Call it what you like. It can be a credit card/DL/cash stasher that fits handily in your pocket, a tea/sugar/sweetener packet holder, or a business card holder. Or all three. I use one for cash/check card/business cards/AD cards (little cards that say the person I'm with has AD so please be patient with us, very handy to hand to the cashier or whoever) so I don't have to carry a purse. Trying to keep track of Mom is enough, I don't need a purse to worry about.


Checkbook covers. Do most people even carry checkbooks anymore though?

Love the lavender color! Gorgeous. I meant to as you how Simba is doing?

Linda Sue said...

GORGEOUS! I love what you have done with felting such pretty lavender hues all swirly and soft! Well done, you- hope you sell a bunch!

Simba is holding her own. She is walking much better, but still has some difficulty getting up. She's still a happy dog, so I'm her happy human.

Beautiful! I'd like at least one of each, several of the card/license/money holder thingy and BUNCHES of the pin holders. You do know that wool sharpens pins/needles, right?? I have many guild friends that would adore them.
Glad Simba is still a happy dog!

nice color.

too bad mom can't go and show off her stuff, too...

Annie said...

Gizmo, if you're serious, shoot me an e-mail at annie at maplecorners daht com. I can make up a batch for you.

Rick, it would be lovely to show Mom's art too. Maybe I should just self-publish? Hahaha!

For what it's worth, I carry a checkbook.

Adelaide said...

The colours of these are truly beautiful! I wish I could come....

Love the color - and it is lavender swirl.

And I still carry a checkbook because there are some small, independently owned shops that don't take credit cards because of the fees.

These are beautiful! Is there any chance you'd sell some on etsy or where ever else you do online business?

Ditto what Julene said. But wait till after the sale in the park.
