Hand dyed felted scarf - extra fine wool and silk

 I had so much fun creating this light weight scarf. First I laid out and felted extra fine merino and silk fibers, silk hankies to at organically shaped small scarf.

Then - the fun part - dying!  Taking the scarf from the dye pot is always a surprising and
the most exciting moment!

I used some plant material for "printing" - love it!

This is a perfect summer scarf - thin and light. Perfect for wrapping your shoulders on a chilly evening or just for adding a splash of color to your outfit. Fine wool and silk wears surprisingly well during summer!

Lacy Loops Handmade Artisan Bracelet - Copper and Carnelian

This bracelet was one of these unintended projects when you get an inspiration from a completely ordinary thing.
I was making some copper S-links out of copper wire and I suddenly realized that the wire I was cutting into little pieces has a really cool shape. So, I stopped cutting it and instead shaped it a little, hammered and wire wrapped with some pretty carnelian beads. Added a hook - and a new bracelet was born!
I of course oxidized it and then slightly polished to show texture. It is on a delicate side, probably wouldn't survive rough handling, but I'm still pleased with how it turned out.
