Chenille Fabric Wall Bag

I made two bags a month last year and it inspired lots of my students. This is a bag I made from a kit using a Chenille fabric technique. See the post on my blog HERE

Snow Magic

Due to the snow, I have had to cancel my classes this week and so I had the opportunity to do lots of reading and research. The snow has been amazing and when I did venture out, the sun made the snow sparkle like magic. I did some research on myth and legend surrounding snow and found some interesting sites! I liked the fairy and nature myths. 'Faerie', meaning, 'conscious intelligent, animant energy'. I found this beautiful video that also contains excepts from the film "Fairy Tale- a True Story". My first choice video above contains the Frost Faerie and beautiful music.
Watch a montage of the film 'Fairy Tale- A True Story'.

 This also led me to investigate more and I came across a film" The Gateways to Faerie" by John Crawford a famous puppeteer who makes fairie houses and gives workshops.



Enjoy the videos and consider your own magic!

 Happy New Year everyone.Hope it is a good one. I have been Spring Cleaning my Studio as I have been working in it the last few days preparing to go back to teaching my Mixed Media, C&G and Patchwork and Quilting Classes. There are changes to the venues as some of you may know, due to decisions out of our hands and the closure of The Gallery.
