This is what my heroine is working on- hand painted kids chairs! They are awesome... I am trying to convince her to start an Etsy shop- and I thought I would teach her how to paint fiber, or yarn, as I think she would do fabulously with dyeing as she is a color consultant by trade.
She has always been a big inspiration in my life and is the reason I am an artist. I would love to help her reinvent herself and start making some $$ doing the things she loves. I love her so much and she really deserves to be happy in her life... Comments on the chair!! Please!!

PS- I am getting a PAT GREENE SUPERCARD!!!! Oh yeah, baby! Pics to come!

Tomorrow I will be getting a box of fiber- inside will be:

  • 5 lbs of 50/50 SW Merino/Silk
  • 5 lbs BFL
  • 8 lbs Tussah Silk (extra bleach)
  • 3 lbs 50/50 Merino/Bamboo
  • 3 lbs Tussah/Merino/Seacell
  • 3 lbs 70/30 Silk/Camel
Soon after that will come 5 pounds of fine gray Shetland, 10 pounds of silk top with noil (30 pounds of that, actually- just 20 of it comes a little later)- and then I will place another order that will include 5 pounds of Superwash BFL, and at least 5 pounds of something else. Last will be 11 pounds of the mulberry silk I carry.

I am saving the two immaculate cormo fleeces and the 17 micron first shearing baby alpaca to card into my own luxury blend on my Cadillac of carders when it gets here. Tick tock!

  1. I think that chair is beautiful. Your friend should definately sell on Etsy. Bonanzle is also a pretty cool place to sell things too!!
