Last weekend I held an open studio and book launch event. I laid out a few scenes from my book showing off my main characters and all the little miniature goodies I made for them. I had examples of my book and showed images from the book on my tv. I ran another slide show of all the felted critturs I’ve made since I began this hobby three years ago.

Open Studio and Book Launch

February 12, 2023

I had an explanatory table showing how I begin my felted creatures and how I have progressed in the design and making of them. Here I’m holding the beginnings of my Apothecary guy.

Stars of my book - Nieva, Serac the reindeer and Rime, the little fox

Merfolk Sealia and Kai, in their magical cavern

Part of Zahrah’s cabin with Rowan building up the fire.

Momma and baby Pegasus hanging out on the fireplace.

Around 40+ people come by and quite a few of you ordered books and subscribed to my blog. A response beyond my wildest dreams! So welcome one and all, and a huge thanks to all those of you who ordered the books - they will be available soon.

My husband ran his model trains and wowed people with those. I think a lot of people were surprised to discover that we are a couple of big kids playing with little toys!

A quick shout out to particular friends who helped me out - my friend Sue, who not only suggested the format for my book, but found me the program to create it in, and then provided practical help and support (and appetizers) for this event. Words can’t express my gratitude. Also my friend Mona, who had the idea of the book launch, provided practical help and support, and took all these great photos. Thanks also to all of you dear readers, who have supported me over the last few years by following my blog and giving me encouraging comments along the way. It’s a pleasure sharing my art with you all and, I hope, inspiring some of you to let YOUR imaginations go wild!

My latest studio work, commissions, and miscellaneous oddities…

 

I have been plein air painting since 1994 and love the challenge of painting outdoors.  I paint in watercolor and acrylic and love to draw in pen or pencil. I also recently took up needle felting and my blog currently chronicles my journey with this medium.
