Spinning ~ Workshop

Big thank you to everyone who came out and learned to use a drop spindle today at the museum.

Another big thank you to the Aurora Arts Society 

for sponsoring such a great event that brings artists together to teach their skills.

Beadery ~ Ryan's Mittens

Just in time for spring, I finished Ryan's mittens...  

I replaced the caribou fur with beaver and added beadwork.

Yes, I am stubborn, but I learned a valuable lesson.  

I heard that caribou fur would not be good for sewing.  The hair is hollow and breaks easily. 

Ryan's new coat + static electricity + caribou = big mess all the time

On the plus side, the beaded design gave me an idea for a new line of jewelry...  more photos to come!

Beadery ~ Reunited

My dear Maman is reunited with her beaded purse on the snowy streets of Toronto.
