My box (with materials) and my little suitcase (with clothes and toothbrush) and my bag (with a selection of about 15 books and magazines) are all packed, as I am off early tomorrow morning to attend a three-day workshop with felting artist Lisa Klakulak. I can’t believe I’m going!!! I can’t wait to meet her in person and to learn fabulous new things. I have admired her wonderful work for quite a while now and am so thrilled to be part of this workshop!
The theme of the workshop? “Resist-based Pendants: hollow forms, found object inclusion and dimensional surfaces (intermediate, advanced)” – music to my ears. Can you hear it?
All the following objects are pictures taken from the book “1000 Artisan Textiles“ – not to be confused with anything I ever made, as I bow in awe of her craftmanship and artistic talent (actually any book on felting and textile arts has images of STRONGFELT’s works in them).
Apart from the various bags and boxes (see above) I will also bring my still unfinished embroidery piece and after 6 hours of felting I will sit down in my cosy Bed & Breakfast and do some stitching. I am not quite sure how realistic this is…but, the occasions when I go away by myself for such a treat of a week-end are very rare. Very rare, indeed, and I am determined to enjoy every minute of it.
