Hi everyone ,my name is Natasha,and I also registered a while back, but haven't had the time to do the formal introduction.. I gave birth in the meantime, and haven't slept for more than 2 hours in 8 months ,which has been quite an experience (still is LOL).anyway I fell in love with wool ,ever since my prince Charming brought me a hat from London.
I'm a sculptor so i've pretty much tried working in all kinds of materials... from Wood,stone ,gypsum, clay but none of them ever gave me the possibility to combine my love for fashion, art and everything extraordinary .it is absolutely amazing how you can use all kinds of fibers and create an amazing wearable peace of art and then again
create a toy that is just as beautiful as if i sculpted it out of clay(maybe even more) .
So far I haven't done a lot of the actual work because i'm a perfectionist so i have been researching,reading ,checking online workshops seminars (that I can afford:)) Gathering different kinds of wool/merino/silk tops ,dyeing them.. playing with diffrent tecniques mostly.
my inspiration, since the beginning have been the amazing art of Judit pocs, a.graham,pam de groot,m.darlinga,lalabug designes ..and many more but these women are my every day inspiration..
I would like to use this opportunity to announce that I'm planning 2017 a big felting gathering in Croatia on a beautiful Island called "iz".my family has a yoga/meditation/peace retreat-hotel there and i belive it is the most amazing place to host a big group of artists and felters all over the world...but there's a lot of time till then just a heads up
)
Thats all from me I hope I haven't said anything wrong or too much ,lately all I do is baby talk so adult conversation is a bit strange ,to say the least.
So, apologies in advance if I overdid it .
I hope to spend a lot of time here and get to know everyone, learn as much as I can from all of you, maybe give a few tips myself, and have a great time in general .
Wish you all a great day ,full of creative thoughts and dreams))
P.s. I have a plead for some books I am looking for but I don't know where to post that .any help would be much appreciated
cheers
