I Felt Like Felting


This is my first attempt at felted beads :) they are really fun to make! i used this tutorial. but my favourite part was the embroidering and thinking of random patterns and chosing the thread colours. i think i'll make these into a bracelet, but i think i'll also make cell phone dingly out of one or two of them. these are addictive <3


I got this roving to make the beads from this cool new yarn store in ottawa called Wabi Sabi. they also hold many knitting, weaving, spinning and felting classes which is really awesome for someone just starting out and not sure where to start. my sister and i signed up for a jewlery felting class in May. can't wait!!



two supervisors looked on.



Chunky Necklace


Made this fabric rosette necklace to wear to a wedding last summer.

Belle was the set design manager for the photoshoot :)

Floral Stuff

I think i'm obsessed with floral print. Here's a couple things i've made that are full of many many flowers. the ipod cozy is pretty old, and a bit beat up from hanging out in the depths of my purse. it used to have an elastic strap across the top that attached to the button to keep it inplace, but over time it wore out and broke off :( it's still good it's still good.




this is a lanyard i made for my camera. i love picking out colour combinations for patchwork stuff :)



Ninja Cat Thingy

Here's something i made for a friend of mine for her birthday. I'm not really sure what it is. I supose it could be key chain or something like that, but it's a ninja cat. he's watching you.



a ninja's life is lonely one.




The beast strikes. Will ninja cat escape?
