Profile

Location:: Land of the Licking River

About Me:: Soccer-mom of two, part-time college student, full-time worker, feminist. Somehow I manage to create feverishly in my "spare" time. My current obsession is needle felting. During the day, under the guise of "work", I daydream about my big bag of richly-colored wools and what I can make out of them. The ideas are endless. My dream is to leave the office and to work from home, so that I can have my own schedule. Creativity cannot always wait until after 5:00 (or more like after 8:00 on my current schedule) to be unleashed!

Gender:: Gal

I am a/an:: Independent Artist/Designer, Shopper

(Designers only) I create:: Art dolls, hand painted bags, needle felted items, anything that I dream up. My creations range from very cute to disturbing, depending on my vision.

(Designers only) I am willing to do:: Custom orders, Consignment

(Designers only) My work is sold at:: Crone Cottage in Bellevue, KY

To be quite honest with you I don't even know what kind of wool I use normally. It's always the same type from the same place and it's always labled "roving". Recentlly though I was handed alpaca, and angora. The angora does not felt nice at all and thus my question about the alpaca.

Have you felted with alpaca wool yet? I'm afraid to try it, I keep thinking it won't stay together well.
