Hi all, I'm Dani from Ottawa, Canada. I am so delighted to see an old-school forum like this still active. So many great connections in my life have come through forums like this! I'm relatively new to fibre obsessions. I've been going to the Ottawa Valley Weavers and Spinners Guild shows for years, and recently took a drop spindle course there with my neighbour Elizabeth. That led me in short order to wheel spinning (got an Ashford Traditional about 2 months ago) and then more recently needle and wet felting. I leapt right in and needle-felted my first two flat pictures last week and then this week I wet felted a case for my eyeglasses using a resist.
I recently created a new instagram account to document my happy transition from mother to crone, a curious crafty crone at that. I'd love to connect if you like: www.instagram.com/curiouscronecreative/I can't wait to dig in to see what treasures I find here! |

Hi Dani. Welcome. I'm sure you'll enjoy browsing around both the Forum and the Studio. We'd love to see what you've been doing if you'd post some images here. Thanks for asking! This is my first attempt at wet felting - a spectacles case for my purse. I was going to make it out of two flat pieces and stitch them together when I found tutorials online about using a resist, so I tried that. It worked! (Not sure embedding the photo worked, though - here's hoping!)

Love the work Dani. The glasses case will make sure that the lenses of your glasses are clear on the outside every time you use it, 2 jobs in 2!
