Wet Felted Slipper Tutorial (Part One)

Posted on March 15, 2016March 14, 2016

Held my mouth right, and the video uploaded!  Yay! Well, I also shortened it, so Part Two and most likely Part Three will be coming as well. I still am planning my next Q&A session, neverfear.  Should I have problems uploading the next videos, I’ll squeeze it in there somewhere. For now, enjoy the beginning…

Starting to Felt

Posted on March 11, 2016March 10, 2016

I began the major felting of my wool slippers.  They still are not complete, seeing as how I actually had to go to work the past two days!   One is 80% complete, with some final shrinking left, and one I have yet to begin. I’ve just reviewed my videos I’ve been taking throughout this process. …

Slop Your Dripper

Posted on March 9, 2016March 8, 2016

The day was chilly… with tattered remnants of snow pasted on the ground.  While I should have worked again on a bee hive or cleaned the chicken coop, I remained inside, trying to accomplish a goal I had set for winter. I have wanted to make a pair of wool slippers… well, almost booties since…

Oil Can

Posted on February 15, 2016February 14, 2016

Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope your day was enjoyable… Mine was, with a little of this, a little of that… I cleaned up an oil can! Remember the one a friend gave me for Christmas???  Well, Johnny found another one while cleaning out his shop and he was sweet enough to know I’d like it!…

Working at the library doesn’t leave me much room for ranchlife… I did manage another pic for my watercolor Art Challenge… and a great sunrise…

Soldier On

Posted on February 4, 2016February 3, 2016

Day Three of my “Let’s Create” Challenge: Vernon is in bed. I gather my watercolor palette, paper, brushes, and a small container of water.  Sitting on my couch… I choose a photo to paint from my ipad collection.  Today, it’s going to be my rooster, Spot.  He’s actually nice, and photogenic! I’m trying to soften…

Let’s Create!

Posted on February 3, 2016February 2, 2016

A day of snow (yay!) and babysitting… while Jaxon and Lacee took naps, I pulled out my watercolors and postcards and went to work. A gallery in Casper has issued a “one painting a day in February” challenge.  Now, I’m not *really* participating… they’re meeting to share and encourage each other… I’m here.  But, hey,…

Squint and Back Away Slowly

Posted on January 27, 2016January 26, 2016

I felt a little “off”… laid around for a little bit… discovered, thankfully, that it wasn’t the horrid flu that is consuming Ten Sleep at this time… but I took the “time off” to finish a new pastel. You know, I think I do pretty good, then I see someone else’s *real* talent… and I…

Artwork

Well, seems as if I spent my Sunday cheering on the Denver Broncos to Superbowl 50!  It was a dramatic and traumatic game… sorry if you’re not a football fan, but I have been all my life.  Well, at least for those teams I care about!  I sure can’t just watch football CONSTANTLY. I also…

Go! WYO!

Posted on January 24, 2016January 23, 2016

Have to share this little crafty project I just finished last week for a friend’s birthday. She’s an avid University of Wyoming fan… following sports of all kinds… hence, “Steamboat”, the bucking horse logo. It’s all done with brown, tan, and gold Sharpies. I rather like ’em! Go! WYO!
