January is an exciting month...aside from the wonderful snow ---hurray---! it is the month for jurying. As an artisan trying to get my work out there, I have to submit my pieces for consideration. Let me tell you BC is textile heaven and the competition fierce. This is not a disadvantage, to the contrary, it inspires me.
My friend Judy is a great inspiration and this piece was designed for her.
This piece is a compilation of techniques, upcycled and felted cashmere as the base and Noro (handpainted Japanese wool for the adornment. After much hunting I found the perfect vintage pearl buttons for closing.....I love a new year, new designs and new friends to share them with.
