“Needle-Felting: An Unexpected Journey” by Aron Lowe

Aron Lowe presented her work to a crowded room of very
enthusiastic women!

We counted 40 people who wanted to try needle-felting
and came up with wonderful little pumpkins.

Aron's treasure chest of scary pumpkins she'd needle-felted.

Some of her newest work involves
adding wires inside so that legs and
arms can be moved.

One guest's incised lines of the
pumpkin.

Next she worked on making the stem.
Alexa Urquhart's lampworked glass beads.


Alexa's beads with agate stones added in.


After Aron finished her presentation and the hands-on session, we had a business meeting, and then got down to our members' show and tell which is always a highlight.


Sue Vegter's natural dyeing studies in an attempt to
recreate Pris Lynch's MX dyes.

Arlene Tiemeyer's beaded scarves.  She strung the beads
onto the yarn first, then knitted the scarf.

Arlene Tiemeyer's handwoven placements.

Arlene Tiemeyer's hand knitted scarf that
began as a long rectangle and, with some
manipulation at the end, creates this long
fringed scarf.

taught us how to create paste papers.

from the Netherlands (TextileLink.com).
